Xapian discuss - Jun 2009 - omindex hangs while scanning

Hello,

I was looking for a search engine for a small internal documentation 
site and found xapian and
omega.  Downloaded and compiled it using msys and ming on a german 
windows xp system. Finally
installed apache on the same box.

Following the omega example I copied the book to .../apache/htdocs and 
startet the omindex
which hang up on the first document found. Even on very short doc with 
only a few words
it never finishes:

under msys:
cd  \opt\bin\
omindex --db "D:/develop/apache22/cgi-bin/omega/data/default" --url 
/book "D:/develop/apache22/htdocs"

    the omega.conf is in the same directory and looks like:
    # Directory containing Xapian databases:
    #database_dir /var/lib/omega/data
    database_dir D:\develop\apache22\cgi-bin\omega\data

    # Directory containing OmegaScript templates:
    # template_dir /var/lib/omega/templates
    template_dir D:\develop\apache22\cgi-bin\omega\templates

    # Directory to write Omega logs to:
    #log_dir /var/log/omega
    log_dir D:\develop\apache22\logs

    # Directory containing any cdb files for the $lookup OmegaScript 
command:
    # cdb_dir /var/lib/omega/cdb
    cdb_dir D:\develop\apache22\cgi-bin\omega\cdb

Can someone point out what I am doing wrong?

Kind Regards
Rolf.

Hmm, this should work.

What output do you get from omindex?

And what version of Xapian and omega is this with?

Cheers,
    Olly

Hi Olly,

I am using :

    MSYS-1.0.10.exe
    mingwrt-3.15.2-mingw32-dev.tar
    gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)

with upgrades of:
    autoconf-2.61.tar.bz2
    automake-1.10.tar.bz2
    libtool-1.5.24.tar.gz

    xapian-core-1.0.13.tar  
    xapian-omega-1.0.13.tar

Note: I had some minor problem compiling it, but solved that with help 
from google:
    libtool: ignoring unknown tag CXX
    The AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS([CXX])
    macro in configure.ac needs CXX to be set before it is used. Placing
    an AC_PROG_CXX before it solves this problem and the build continues.


Starting the omindex I get the following output

    [Entering directory /]
    [Entering directory /book]
    Indexing "/book/ci_01.htm" as text/html ...

Cheers
Rolf.
