Name would be libmozjs185-dev, but this package has last been seen in Debian Stretch (oldoldstable):
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libmozjs185-dev

What is interesting is that there is a "M68k-alignment-fixes.patch" in the Debian source package:
https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/mozjs

Maybe it is possible to build it on m68k. Which of course needs Python 2.7 to build as a build dependency. So good luck with that... (Python 2.7 has been removed from Debian bookworm and most recent distros).

Should we move the discussion to another echoarea? (FSX_BBS or SYNCHRONET in Fidonet)
Or is better to not break the thread and keep it here, even if it's not about Enigma anymore?
