Xapian devel - Mar 2014 - Regarding GSOC 2014

Sir,

I am a 4th yr undergraduate student pursuing my BTech in CSE at IIIT
Hyderbad, India.

I am interested in applying for Xapian in Gsoc 2014. I had gone through
this year's idea page and interested in applying for 'posting list
encoding
improvements' project.

I am good at C/C++,python; which is one of the requirement. I had done gone
through the information Retrieval and Extraction course and done projects
like 'Wikipedia Search Engine' and 'Learning to Advertise (search
engine
advertising)'.

Can someone please give me some guidance to get started.

Thanks,
Anurag Soni,
IIIT Hyderabad.

We've put together a guide on the wiki:
http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoC%20Guide

In particular, study the links in the "resources" section of the
project
idea - that's there so students can find out more about the project.

Cheers,

Sir,

I am getting an error during 'make', it says:

/xapian/xapian-core/matcher/maxpostlist.cc: In member function 'virtual
Xapian::doccount MaxPostList::get_termfreq_est() const':
xapian/xapian-core/matcher/maxpostlist.cc:69:2: error:
'xapian_logcall_return_type_' was not declared in this scope
xapian/xapian-core/matcher/maxpostlist.cc:69:2: error: expected ';'
before
'xapian_logcall_return_'
xapian/xapian-core/matcher/maxpostlist.cc:69:2: error: 'xapian_logcall_'
was not declared in this scope
xapian/xapian-core/matcher/maxpostlist.cc:69:2: error:
'xapian_logcall_return_' was not declared in this scope

and then the error got recursive for many functions like
virtual PostList* MaxPostList::next(double)
virtual PostList* MaxPostList::skip_to(Xapian::docid, double)
etc.

Can you please where it is getting wrong?

Thanks,
Anurag Soni,
