My email doesn't seem to gone out. Try to resend. Anyway the new
threading approach seems to work for me on Windows. Going to try in
Linux.

Subject: some issues building the latest PyLucene
To: pylucene-dev at osafoundation.org


I'm trying to build the latest PyLucene on Windows. Hit a few issues.
Some of it resolved. Some I'm still working on.

a. I ran into an error: `swig_globalvar' undeclared

I was using the latest SWIG-1.3.24. It seems SWIG-1.3.21 was around
much a longer so I take a shot and the problem magically went away.

b. It complaints about: d:\Progra~1\Python24\python24.dll: No such
file or directory

There isn't a python24.dll in Python24 (I installed 2.4 from the .msi)
However there is one in the c:\winnt\system32 directory. Copy it to
Python24 resolved the problem.

/cygdrive/d/MinGW/bin/g++ -shared  -o release/_PyLucene.pyd
release/lucene.o release/snowball.o release/highlight.o release/u
til.java.o release/util.cpp.o release/io.java.o release/io.cpp.o

g++.exe: d:\Progra~1\Python24\python24.dll: No such file or directory
make: *** [release/_PyLucene.pyd] Error 1

c. This give me a _PyLucene.pyd of size 5896k, quite a bit smaller
that the 6516k from the 0.9.3 distribution

d. When _PyLucene is imported, it complaints about libiconv-2.dll not
in the path. Grapping it from mingw resolved the problem.

Now I'm about to give it more testing.
