MS XP SP3 (32 bit) https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/i686/ mingw-w64-i686-xapian-core-1.4.1-1-any.pkg.tar.xz does not contain /mingw32/lib/libxapian.la. cf: http://nurmi-labs.blogspot.com/2016/11/git.html (for setup) https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/i686/ mingw-w64-i686-libtool-2.4.6-7-any.pkg.tar.xz (added) https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/Sources/ mingw-w64-xapian-core-1.4.1-1.src.tar.xz This download contains the package maintainer's configure script arguments. But I ran the configure script without any arguments. $ export PATH=/mingw32/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:\> /c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:\ > /usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl$ ./configure However, running 'make check' resulted in the following. make[4]: Entering directory '/c/WORK/xapian-core-1.4.1/tests' FAIL: apitest.exe =======================================1 of 4 tests failed Please report to https://xapian.org/bugs ======================================= I'll probably delete the content of (http://nurmi-labs.blogspot.com/2016/11/git.html) regarding xapian in a couple of weeks.
