Windows binaries of JCC and PyLucene

[Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>]

Hello!

I'm looking for Windows binaries of JCC 2.1 and PyLucene 2.4. I tried to
build the Windows binaries myself using Sun JDK 1.6.0u12 and MinGW32 but
I had no luck.

After some modifications to setup.py I got so far:

Thanks for the patch !
While it is a good example, it would break people using Visual Studio, in 
particular with the link line, -ljvm. On the other hand, the JDK variable 
idea I should try to incorporate, on all platforms.

Like I said yesterday, a complete setuptools-based solution for PyLucene 
would be more than welcome and work better on Windows. Until someone writes 
it, we're all stuck with the Makefile. Any other solution that only 
helps/works on Windows or makes Python users cringe (ant), and thus 
duplicates maintenance efforts is not so useful :)

Good news everybody! Apparently the JCC sources are not compatible with
GCC 3.4. I had more luck with GCC 4.1.2 from
http://www.develer.com/oss/GccWinBinaries. I've appended a working patch
against the latest trunk.

The PyLucene Makefile is really a pain in the ... I had to pull off
several ugly hacks in order to compile PyLucene. Any other system than a
Makefile would greatly improve the situation on Windows. For example
http://www.blueskyonmars.com/projects/paver/ is really nice and easy to use.
