I discovered, while trying to set up Tcl bindings for Notmuch (https://notmuchmail.org/), which uses Xapian, that flintlock was not being locked (I had lost updates). I then found that opening a Xapian database for writing directly via the Xapian Tcl bindings also silently fails to lock flintlock. I have taken a copy of flint_lock.cc to play with, and I find that it locks the file when called

gnu_getopt.h by Eric Lindblad 07-09-2015 http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com Subsequent to the compile of libxapian.so.22.6.8 and libxapian.a there are executable source files using gnu_getopt.h which has an #ifdef __CYGWIN__, perhaps that file would need attention in order for compile to proceed on my modified SFU Interix 3.5 setup The 1 'ambiguous overload' report on SFU Interix I

Dear Olly Betts, same 32 bit compiler version hardware OS OS version as here (where remotetcp_chert passed and skipped 3) xapian-core-1.2.21.tar.xz http://nurmi-labs.blogspot.com/2015/10/xapian.html ./apitest backend remoteprog_brass: All 225 tests passed, 3 skipped. ./apitest backend remotetcp_brass: All 225 tests passed, 3 skipped. ./apitest backend remoteprog_chert: All 225 tests passed,

Having modified software packages' creation scripts some of which use patches, I'm familiar with their use and authorship. It was the specific patch Olly mentioned which I did not know yet if it was needed or indicated. Obviously autoconf is indicated for a bootstrap when xapian is obtained from Github, but, the package maintainer for the MSYS2/MINGW xapian-core1.4.1 had not listed

Vista Ultimate by Eric Lindblad http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com Email: GeirfuglApS <at> yahoo.com I there anyone with a 32 bit Vista Ultimate (or Enteprise) box who would be willing to download from MS & install 'Utilities and SDK for UNIX-based Applications_X86.exe', compile & install make-3.81 as gmake in /usr, compile & install m4-1.4.9 as gm4 in /usr, compile

Dear Olly Betts, I think the tests for the perl module Search-Xapian-1.2.21.0 might be fewer in number than the perl tests included with xapian-bindings-1.2.21. If some of the tests have similar but modified content I do not know. I am not so skilled as to interpret the compared test results. If you want to suggest a paired earlier version of Xapian to a specific xapian.bindings version, I might

Question by Eric Lindblad 05-09-2015 http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com I would enquire if anyone has an opinion on whether it might be a possibility that adding the following #ifdef in certain xapian-core-1.2.21 /common and/or /backends files following the string #include <sys/types.h> might move closer towards resolution the 'ambiguous overload' issue. +#ifdef __INTERIX +#

Regarding the earlier mail about [xapian-core-1.2.24] /tests/api_replicate.cc compiled under MSYS/MINGW (g++ 5.3.0). It seems likely that the error was specific to certain g++ versions. https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/1448 Eric at ERICS-NETBOOK /c/WORK $ cat test.cpp #include <stdlib.h> int setenv(const char *name, const char *value, int overwrite) { return _putenv_s(name, value); }

xapian-core-1.2.24 Unclear yet about any possible use of patches, either for MSYS/MINGW and/or MSYS2/MINGW, for xapian-core versions(?), but here are sections of the 'configure' and 'make check' logs I output from a MSYS/MINGW (g++ 5.3.0) compile on XP SP3 (32 bit) Home Edition (xapian-core-1.2.24). configure log checking for setenv... no checking for _putenv_s... yes

Xapian Developers, [I initially thought to install xapian on SFU (Interix 3.5) on MS XP but could not compile libuuid] [getopt.h, inttypes.h, and stdint.h taken from SUA (for Vista) and installed in SFU (Interix 3.5)] If someone is inclined to write a modified libuuid and label it for use with Interix <version(s)> to satisfy the dependency for an xapian <version(s)> install on
