Hi

Thank you!!

I tried building the letor for both the branches and unfortunately both of
them do not build :

gsoc2014 branch gives an error at :

C -DPIC -o .libs/ranklist.o
ranklist.cc: In member function 'void Xapian::RankList::sort_by_score()':
ranklist.cc:98:6: error: unused variable 'fvv_size'
[-Werror=unused-variable]
ranklist.cc: In member function 'void Xapian::RankList::sort_by_label()':
ranklist.cc:108:6: error: unused variable 'fvv_size'
[-Werror=unused-variable]
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
make[3]: *** [ranklist.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/manugupt1/han/xapian/xapian-letor'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/manugupt1/han/xapian/xapian-letor'


and gsoc2014-evaluation branch has:

emanager.cc  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/featuremanager.o
featuremanager.cc:89:1: error: unused parameter 'did1'
[-Werror=unused-parameter]
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
make[3]: *** [featuremanager.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/manugupt1/han/xapian/xapian-letor'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/manugupt1/han/xapian/xapian-letor'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/manugupt1/han/xapian/xapian-letor'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Also, if I am looking at LETOR tutorials, I should probably take a look at
how they work with xapian right, which is documented here at :

http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoC2014/Learning%20to%20Rank%20Hanxiao%20Sun/Report

Thanks a lot

Best Regards
Manu Gupta
