Tools/Scripts/build-jsc, on linux, reports
Building not defined for this platform!
and halts. Building jsc works using Tools/Scripts/build-webkit but would be nice on linux to not need to build everything.

Adding cc's per olliej's suggestion.

You have to specify the port under which you'd like to build jsc. I assume you're targeting the GTK port, so you'd run the command with the --gtk flag:
`Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk`
Alon Zakai
Thanks! I didn't think to try that because while build-webkit does mention --gtk etc. in its help, but build-jsc does not. But it does seem to work (it runs for a while then quits without error, which is ok since no files have changed since i built all of webkit a few hours ago).
Closing this, but perhaps this could be documented somewhere? Or was I looking in the wrong place for docs?
Zan Dobersek
Well, in the very worst case, you can always look at the code.
But I agree, a bit more documentation wouldn't hurt. Feel free to produce patches, or at least open a separate bug for that.
