Bug #32200 for KinoSearch: Won't compile under Windows/MinGW

Wed Jan 09 10:01:32 2008 swatt [...] infobal.com - Ticket created

Subject:

Won't compile under Windows/MinGW

Compilation proceeds happily until we get to the C stage. We can't get to the win32lfs.h file, which may be either in c_src\compat (which was not present in the distribution) or due to not using VS to compile. Perl version, ActivePerl 5.8.8 (Build 822); OS: Win2K; compiler GCC MinGW and MSYS. I will maybe see if I can find the stuff in Lucy. Partial trace below Creating os object...

The devel branch of KinoSearch has not compiled under Windows for a while now. However, there are only a few things in the way, as the vast majority of KS is written using c90 and the Charmonizer configuration layer handles a lot of the portability issues. These are the problems I recall off the top of my head: * c_src/KinoSearch/Store/Lock.c uses unistd.h and signal.h. * c_src/KinoSearch/Store/FSFolder uses sys/stat.h and dirent.h. * Charmonizer needs to be configured to supply versions of LFS-support functions such as ftello64 for Windows. I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro, and I've been able to get an XP devel environment up and running via Boot Camp. It has not been a high priority to address the Windows issues, since until now all of the KS early adopters have been running various unixen. However, it's probably not too much work to get things going again.

Hi Martin If you like, I can look into it. I've used Lucene before, and I'm pretty solid on Windows/Perl/C - I'm currently writing ANTLR parsers using the C runtime and hooking them into Perl XS. I try to avoid the nastiness of some XS stuff, I am nowhere near you level expertise in these matters, but I'm pretty sound and getting stuff to compile. Let me know if you'd like me to help - could really use a good Perl search engine, and the older versions of KinoSearch rocked!! I'm also a MacBook Pro user at home - where I use Parallels Workstation rather than Boot Camp. But I also have a Visual Studio copy somewhere, so I should be able to check on both. --S Show quoted text

I have 0.165 running on Windows with Strawberry Perl 5.10, so perhaps this ticket can be closed?

Both the stable 0.1x branch and the devel 0.3x branch now work on Windows.
