fatal error: jsapi.h: No such file or directory

Hi,

I've been trying to build Oolite 1.90 on Raspberry Pi OS 64Bit, Bullseye but have ran into a problem, I think I have all the dependencies and followed the instructions but cant be 100 sure...

This is my working so far...

git clone https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite
cd oolite
git submodule update --init

sudo apt-get install GNUstep gnustep-core-devel libopenal-dev libmozjs-78-dev

(The rest of the dependencies, SDL and so on are already there)

export GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/lib/GNUstep/Makefiles

(Needed this to get the build to start)

make -f Makefile release

This is the error, I am getting...

In file included from src/Core/Debug/OODebugMonitor.m:39:
src/Core/Debug/OOJSConsole.h:33:10: fatal error: jsapi.h: No such file or directory
33 | #include <jsapi.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/rules.make:515: obj.spk/oolite.obj/OODebugMonitor.m.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/Instance/objc.make:64: internal-objc_program-all_] Error 2
make[2]: *** [/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/Master/rules.make:297: oolite.all.objc-program.variables] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/oolite'
make: *** [Makefile:115: release] Error 2

The build is looking for jsapi.h in /home/pi/oolite/deps/Linux-deps/include, if I move the file there the build advances to the next missing file, the missing ones all seem to be located here /home/pi/oolite/deps/mozilla/js/src

Any ideas what is wrong? ....

Using
git checkout 915c78d -- GNUmakefile
works around the issue for me, as in the following commit (d27428d) appears to be some mistake.

@anonymissimus Thanks for the feedback, I'll give that a go next time I get a moment. Appreciated!

If you get errors like fatal error: jsapi.h: No such file or directory, you probably forgot to first fetch all the git submodules

Note that the submodule fetch instructions are not just git submodule update --init
