[Xapian-devel] Help with xapian

[Parth Gupta]

Hi Karthik,

Have you installed all the dependencies listed in
https://github.com/xapian/xapian/blob/master/xapian-core/HACKING ? Overall
this document is very helpful for most of the issues. If not we would like
to update it.

Most of the time one of the missing dependency comes in the way.

Cheers,
Parth.
