Installing Google js test for unit testing

Question

I am currently working on JavaScript and want to design unit test for JavaScript I am using google-JS-Test

http://code.google.com/p/google-js-test/

I have downloaded gjstest-1.0.7

I have installed all the prerequisites need.

http://code.google.com/p/google-js-test/wiki/Installing#Prerequisites

but when I install google js test using

$ cd gjstest-1.0.7 
$ make

I got following errors

g++ -DHASH_NAMESPACE=__gnu_cxx -lrt -I. -I/usr/include/libxml2 -DDEFAULT_DATA_DIR=/usr/local/share/gjstest  -c -o gjstest/internal/cpp/v8_utils.o gjstest/internal/cpp/v8_utils.cc

gjstest/internal/cpp/v8_utils.cc:60: error: no matching function for call to ‘v8::Array::Get(uint32&)’

make: *** [gjstest/internal/cpp/v8_utils.o] Error 1

It seems like v8 is not install correctly

I have installed V8 using commands like

sudo apt-get install libv8-2.0.3 
sudo apt-get install libv8-dbg 
sudo apt-get install libv8-dev

And also by downloading it

svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8
cd v8
make dependencies
scons

But still getting these errors

So if any one has installed and used Google Js or installed v8, kindly guide me on how should I solve this problem.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04. Any help will be appreciated.

This is indeed caused by trying to build gjstest against a very old version of libv8.

I checked out and built a more recent libv8 on ubuntu 10.04 by following the instructions here:

svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8
cd v8
make depdendencies
make native library=shared
cp out/native/lib.target/libv8.so /usr/local/lib/libv8.so
cp include/v8.h /usr/local/include/v8.h
cp include/v8stdint.h /usr/local/include/v8stdint.h

After which gjstest compiled and ran without further surprises.
