Xapian discuss - Jan 2008 - xapian with MinGW

Hi all,


   Has anybody tested Xapian with MinGW?

   I cannot run the "simpleindex" example. I'm getting a SIGSEGV.
A
backtrace shows me lots of garbage, so things must be really messed
up. All that I can say for now, is that it happens when on this line:

db.add_document(doc);

from simpleindex.cc, and after

string Xapian::Document::Internal::get_data() const { ... }

all hell breaks loose.


Anybody knows something about this...?

Under Cygwin can run "simpleindex" and "simplesearch" with
no
problems. Same within Linux.

Can anybody help?

(I'm using Mingw GCC 3.4.5 and tried lots of Msys versions)

Thanks,
Adi.

Yes - it certainly used to work.

I've no idea from the information given I'm afraid.

How are you running simpleindex?

What does the "garbage" backtrace look like?

And does "make check" in the built xapian-core source tree pass?

Cheers,
