Install the VMWare free server edition on your local machine, create an image of the same flavor OS as your provider uses, compile Spidermonkey on that image then upload to provider. Not guaranteed to work, but a very good chance that it will.

@romain

I considered that but for a couple of reasons I decided not to. I’d have to review the code used and I wouldn’t be in control of the development.

I looked at Rhino as well but I just don’t like java never have.

The goal is to produce Hackvertor tags using this parser which will allow a sandboxed environment and allow users to upload their own.

why not using PHP or so to generate a proper AST for your JS tool?
I’ve seen tools like:

which is supposed to produce a proper parser based on a grammar. I know it’s mostly for the fun, but I think you will run into maintainability problems/etc.
