Building

QuickJS uses CMake as its main build system, with an additional helper Makefile.

note

Windows users will need to run the CMake commands manually.

Getting the source

git clone https://github.com/quickjs-ng/quickjs.git
cd quickjs

Compiling everything

make

This will build the qjs and qjsc executables and other test tools. Head over here for instructions on how to use them.

Debug builds

make debug

This will produce a debug build without optimizations, suitable for developers.

Running test262

make test262

This will run the test262 suite.

make test262-update

This will run the test262 suite and update the error / pass report, useful after implementing a new feature that would alter the result of the test suite.
