[Xapian-discuss] Xapian-discuss Digest, Vol 127, Issue 4

Tue Jan 6 13:53:25 GMT 2015

Hey,
Thanks olly.
I set ubuntu up to make it easier to build xapian. Got the build done and
am looking into issues to get familiar with the code and API. But I will
try it out on windows again and get back if I face problems.
