[pylucene-dev] Building on OS X

[Terry Jones]

Hi again Andi.

| The block above implies that you have the DB sources installed in the PyLucene 
| directory, which is my setup but not necessarily yours...

Yes, thanks. I had dropped in a symlink to my db sources.

| I don't get this error and I build with Berkeley DB.

I guess it's nothing to do with PyLucene. I just tried to rebuild bsddb
against db-4.4.20 and I get the same error about u_int undefined in db.h.

| The problem may stem from the fact that you didn't install the Berkeley DB 
| sources in the right place (that is the place named by the DB var in the block 
| above) and that the PyLucene build then doesn't find the proper db.h file. If 
| you look in PyLucene's Makefile, it adds -I$(DB) and -I$(DB)/build_unix to the 
| include path to find the include files produced by Berkeley DB's config.

Yes, those two -I args are present in the compile line, and they point to
my db sources correctly.

I guess I'd better go and bug some other mailing list :-)

Thanks,
Terry
