Hello,
I am trying to get Xapian 0.9.5 compiled on Win32 using Cygwin. I use
the same configuration I described in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/2071/focus=2071>.
The "make" command failed when trying to build "xapian-config". "make"
outputs:
"""
cd . && /bin/sh ./config.status xapian-config
config.status: creating xapian-config
"""
then seems to never terminate (I let it run for twenty minutes before
killing it). The task manager shows that "sed" is taking all the
processing time and FileMon does not show any specific filesystem
activity. I am stuck at this point. I tried to comment the library
dependency tracking function added since xapian 0.9.2 to no avail.
Besides, compared to the compilation of 0.9.2, I have the following remarks:
- The precedence of win32 find.exe over cygwin one is correctly detected
by configure.
- There is a problem when generating "config.h": instead of being left
commented, the symbol SNPRINTF is defined to "no" which breaks macro
expansion in many places. Commenting it deals with the issue.
- I still have to add dependencies via the BACKENDS_LA variable (see my
previous post linked above).
Thank you for any idea about the sed pseudo-infinite loop.
