Xapian devel - Apr 2014 - Adding an external library to Xapian

Hi
We are writing a new module which needs to be added to the Xapian source.
For this, what modifications are to be made to the Makefile?
The two modules we are writing will be in the 'include' and
'api' folders.

Cheers

I believe (from a quick inspection of the build system) that:

 * add new external API headers (ie ones that get installed for library users)
to xapianinclude_HEADERS in include/Makefile.mk

 * sources in api/ should be added to lib_src in api/Makefile.mk

 * headers in api/ (which won't be installed for library users) should be
added to noinst_HEADERS in api/Makefile.mk

That should be enough, providing you're in maintainer mode, which will be
true if you've built from a git checkout.

A linker error is encountered even after following the above steps.
ERROR:
 undefined reference to `Xapian::Trie::Trie()'
