Hi Olly,<br><br>I checked out the latest code from your svn and got it to build. Things worked smoothly with that.<br><br>I will have a look at the code and get familiarize with that in the next few days. Probably, as u suggested, add a new test case and check how it goes with that.<br>
<br>Just a small clarification about the development environment? Would that be advantages to have some kind of IDE which makes it faster to work with? <br><br>Appreciate your help.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Sumith<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>If you haven't already, I'd suggest starting by checking the latest code<br>
out from the version control system (either svn or git) and getting it<br>
to build. The place to start is:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xapian.org/bleeding" target="_blank">http://xapian.org/bleeding</a><br>
<br>
You'll need to be able to work from one of the VCSes for the project, so<br>
you might as well start now.<br>
<br>
Once you have it building, just start to have a poke around. There are<br>
documentation comments for the public API and a lot of internal things<br>
too, and there's a collection of documentation of internal things here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xapian.org/docs/internals.html" target="_blank">http://xapian.org/docs/internals.html</a><br>
<br>
If you're wanting something productive to do which would help you<br>
get to grips with the code, you could take a look at the coverage report<br>
(which measures how much of the code gets exercised by "make check") and<br>
see if you can manage to add a new testcase which exercises some code<br>
which isn't currently exercised. There's a current report here:<br>

<br>
Feel free to ask if you've any questions.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
