[Xapian-devel] About bild xapian on windows using mingw32

[Scott Zhang]

Hello. All.
   Finally get xapian compiled with mingw on windows 2003.
Following changes need to be made.
1. When configure
do this.
configure CXXFLAGS=-D__MSVCRT_VERSION__==0x0601

2. Modify common/closeform.cc
Line 100:
change
maxfd = static_cast<int>(sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX));
to
maxfd = 65535;//static_cast<int>(sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX));

because sysconf is not implemented in mingw.

3. modify net/progclient.cc
on Line 25: add
#include <stdio.h>

because sprintf is not defined here.

4. modify net/tcpserver.cc
on line 25. add
on Line 25: add
#include <stdio.h>

because sprintf is not defined here.

Then make && make install

I notice there are some strip function is not success because the path
is incorrect. But it doesn't matter.
Then we can test examples.


Regards.
Scott
