[Xapian-devel] Trying to get Search::Xapian perl module to compile on win32

[Desmond Daignault]

Greetings.  First, I'd like to thank you for producing a nice search tool. Secondly, I'm not sure this is the right list to send this to.  Please correct me if this is not the best place to ask.

I'm having trouble getting Search::Xapian to compile on win32 using visual studio 2008.  I have made quite a lot of progress but I am currently stuck.

The xapian-core library was built with no issues using the win32 makefiles that are provided here: http://www.flax.co.uk/xapian_binaries

One of the issues that building on win32 (without mingw or any other unix like interface) is that the xapian-config program is not built when building xapian-core on win32.

I modified the Makefile.PL script to account for this as best I could.  After generating the Makefile, I had to modify it some to force the compiler to recognize that all the xs modules are written in C++.

This is what I am getting:

        cl.exe -c  -IC:\sandbox\xapian-core-1.2.8 -IC:\sandbox\xapian-core-1.2.8\common -IC:\sandbox\xapian-core-1.2.8\win32 -IC:\CVSROOT\emsng_build\sandbox\xapian-core-1.2.8\include -IC:\CVSROOT\emsng_build\win32\install\include  -nologo -O1 -MD -D NDEBUG -Zi -W3 -EHsc -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1    -DVERSION=\"1.2.8.0\"  -DXS_VERSION=\"1.2.8.0\"  "-IC:\CVSROOT\emsng_build\win32\install\perl\lib\CORE"  -DWIN32 -D__WIN32__ -D_WIN32 -D_WINDOWS -D "HAVE_VSNPRINTF" -D "HAVE_STRDUP" -D _USE_32BIT_TIME_T" -D"D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE" Xapian.cc

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
