Rob,

First, I want to tell you thank you for your help.
Second, I am now back up. I tried compiling the RELEASE and DEBUG options. I didn't have success either way. The necessary files, including jsversion.h, was NOT in the gcc.linux.release directory tree. I did, however, find it in the gcc.linux.debug directory tree. I compiled with

make USE_DOSEMU=1 VERBOSE=1 symlinks

and it compiled without issue. I started it systemctl start sbbs and it ran all the events and seems to be doing just fine, as you can see from the Origin line below.

Thanks again!! Your work (and those who also contribute) is appreciated.

No problem. If you want to create a shell account on your system for me, I could ssh-in and try a release build (in a fresh/test directory) and see what the build issue is.

Sure thing. Email me w6ray at w6ray dot com with your preferred user name and password and I will set
it up. I am curious.

I got a failure at the same point:

checking for NSPR - version >= 4.7.0... yes
configure: error: system NSPR does not support PR_STATIC_ASSERT
GNUmakefile:52: recipe for target '../build/../../src/../3rdp/gcc.linux.debug/mozjs/lib/libmozjs185-1.0.a' failed

I think this indicates a problem with your NSPR installation.

Here's what my (working) NSPR package install looks like:

# apt show libnspr4-dev
Package: libnspr4-dev
Version: 2:4.12-6
Priority: optional
Section: libdevel
Source: nspr

I can't check yours without root perms, but I'm guessing that is where the problem lies.

Mkay. Well I'm guessing there's a problem with the libnspr4-dev package installation. Perhaps remove and reinstall or repair it?

I will try to figure that out. I do have a question, though. Why would make find
it when compiling a DEBUG version, but not a RELEASE version. I understand that they use two different paths.

When I try to build libmozjs on your system, it fails regardless of whether its DEBUG or RELEASE. In the other directory you're trying to build, you likely already had libmozjs built for debug, but not for release. So it doesn't need to run "configure" again for the DEBUG release (it's already been done). If you cleaned out that output directory (3rdp/gcc.linux.debug/mozjs) and tried a build, it would most likely fail in exactly the same manner as the release build.
