Nice, didn't think of that.

That's annoying.

Ok. Is this the same as the smjs example (will look through later)?
If so, then that's definitely a debian bug and should probably be reported as
such, unless they provide a js-config script,
pkg-config .pc file or docs about this in their readme.
I'll look into this.
If any of these are provided I wonder if they provide the correct flags?
