[pylucene-dev] Pylucene 2.1.0-2, Python 2.5, Win32

[Krys Wilken]

Hi Andi,

Okay, I successfully compiled with your mingw 3.4.6.  Same 2 failed tests, so 
no probs.

I have made the archive available here:

http://dev.krys.ca/downloads/PyLucene/PyLucene-2.1.0-2-gcj346-py25-win32.zip

(Notice the gcj version) :)

As before, feel free to link to it.

I also need to make x86, x86_64 and FreeBSD 5.4/5.5 compiles. :(  Believe it 
or not, I need them all for personal and professional use. O_o  I will make 
them available too as I get them working.

One question:  Can I use 3.4.6 on x86_64?  Or do I have to mess with 4.x?  My 
initial attempts with 4.x gets me failed tests.

Hope this all helps.  Thanks for the help.

Krys
