I've copied the "boilerplate code necessary for a minimal JSAPI application" from the JSAPI User Guide (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_User_Guide) and I'm trying to build on OS X with the following command:

I've found that since mozjs-60 you need to use C++14. That cleared up these errors for me. I was using "Apple LLVM version 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.1)" according to "clang --version".
