Reasonable development environment

[steve johnson <ac...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
I'm trying to build an development environment for a
friend to do some mod_mbox work that requires
lucene4c.  After 2 whole days of building packages and
searching these archives for hints my only comment is
"WoW".  I understand a lot of this stuff is in flux so
I don't expect a FAQ or Howto but I'm wondering  if
someone can list  the components and version numbers
of the packages they use to build lucene4c.  After
reading a lot of email from this list I tried using
building gcj-backend branch with apr 1.1 (and 1.0 and
0.9) and gcc4.0 (and 3.4 and 3.3) and had no luck. 
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

I've been burning up my inetnet line with apt-get
installs for the last couple of days. Retracing those
changes would be impossible at this point but from
this point forward I might be able to document my
steps.

I currently use apr from the trunk (make sure to compile with 
--enable-experimental-libtool) and gcc 4.0.  If you post some specific 
examples of the problems you're seeing perhaps we can help you out with 
them, simply saying "it don't work" makes it rather difficult to be 
specific about the solution.

And now that you mention it, if you do get it working then reducing the 
steps you need to take into a HOWTO would be quite useful...

The developer I am building this for will be working
adding search functionality to mod_mbox using
lucene4c.

BTW using the trunk apr and gcc 4.0 got me lucene4c
built.  mod_mbox doesn't build (can't fine lucene4c
includes) but that isn't an issue for this list I
would assume.

Lucene4c is optional for mod_mbox.  It is not required.

All the current features for mod_mbox work just fine without Lucene4c.
