Definitely don't want to use SpiderMonkey.
Why not? Could this possibly be a variant?
It would be a variant that would be difficult if not impossible to maintain now that mongodb has moved to V8. Considering that this ticket is because of a minor version bump in V8, trying to track how an entirely different engine integrates is beyond the scope of a project like macports. You might be able to get a specific build of SpiderMonkey to work with this version of mongodb, but any changes in either would probably break it. Might as well just compile it yourself so that the package manager doesn't break it for you in the future. There are already a few good workarounds in this thread, and Ryan will change over the port soon enough. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40247#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
