AW: AW: Building PyLucene on Windows

[Thomas Koch <ko...@orbiteam.de>]

Jeremy ,

not sure if I can be of great help here either ... the error tells me that
compiling the JCC-generated lucene-sources (i.e. C++ code) fails. This could
either mean
1) JCC code generator failed, i.e. your JCC build is broken
2)  your compiler is unable to understand the generated code

Ad1) I attach a directory listing of my build/_lucene dir so you can check
at least if file size matches...

I doubt that JCC is broken if the build went fine.

Ad2) The error looks like some pre-processor issue -  e.g. in functions.cpp
there is 
 #if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(__SUNPRO_CC)
which is a pre-processor statement (or macro) that should be understood by
recent compilers.

I cant' see where the error actually occurs (\_lucene\[F.h(1) ??) but my
strong guess it's the compiler that's crap.

> Windows SDK C/C++ compiler (v7.0)

As mentioned before I'd advise to use the version of Visual Studio C++
compiler that's used to build your Python version!
Start your python interpreter:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

This tells you it's compiled with Visual C++ 2008     (MSC_VER=1500)
Cf.
