>Who/What is Upsteam ? Doug Cutting ? Yes, Doug Cutting and other Java Lucene developers. I meant to say upstream instead of upsteam.
>Which version of Lucene, which version of gcj did you use >[for the lucene demo programs]? I didn't see any segfaults or compilation warnings. Lucene is version 1.4.1 and gcj reports its version as "gcj-3.4 (GCC) 3.4.1 (Debian 3.4.1-4sarge1)" gcj-3.4 -O3 \ /usr/share/javalucene-1.4.jar \ /usr/share/java/lucene-demos-1.4.jar \ -o lucene-search \ --main=org.apache.lucene.demo.SearchFiles > - a naked gcj compiled Java Lucene ? > - worthless for integrating with other non-java languages Very well, I will drop the idea of a naked gcj compiled Java Lucene. If you feel the situation changes in the future (due to a better gcj) please let me know. In the meantime us poor C application programmers will be stuck with Clucene. Cheers, Jeff
