Help patching Solr

[Moazzam Khan <mo...@gmail.com>]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how to patch stuff in Windows? I am trying to patch
Solr with patch 238 but it keeps erroring out with this message:



C:\solr\example\webapps>patch solr.war ..\..\SOLR-236-trunk.patch
patching file solr.war
Assertion failed: hunk, file ../patch-2.5.9-src/patch.c, line 354

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Thanks in advance

I'm not going to be too much specific help for Windows here since I'm
running on a Mac, but...

All of this is done through ant, there's some help at the "how to
contribute" page, but nothing I see windows-specific:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute

Which means you have to have your environment set up, with all the joy that
entails <G>. You can start by just going to the solr directory and typing
the relevant commands and installing whatever's not found. At minimum you
need ant and the java sdk. You'll have to set up the environment variables
properly, including things like JAVA_HOME and PATH and, perhaps, ANT_HOME?
I'm sure there are others....

You can see all the available top-level targets for ant by just typing
"ant", but a couple of useful ones are
"ant clean" for removing all compiled code
"ant test" for running all the unit tests
"ant dist" for creating war files.

Not too much help, but it's a start. It'd be great if you could list the
things you have to do and provide a how-to for the Wiki.

Good luck!
Erick

Thanks. I finally patched it (I think). I got the source from SVN and
applied the patch using a windows port. A caveat to those to want to
do this on windows - open the file in wordpad and save it as a
different file to replace unix line breaks with DOS line breaks.
Otherwise, the patch program gives an error:

Assertion failed: hunk, file ../patch-2.5.9-src/patch.c, line 354

Now, that I have patched it (as far as I can tell) how do I build the
sources :D (sorry I know it's a basic question but I have no idea how
to do this)

I'm pretty sure you need to be running the patch against a checkout of the trunk sources, not a generated .war file. Once you've done that you can use the build scripts to make a new war.
