I'm trying to build JCC 2.6 (from the PyLucene 3.0.2 source bundle) with GCC 4.5 on Windows XP using MinGW/msys.
creating build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\jcc\sources c:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -D_jcc_lib -DJCC_VER="2.6" "-IC:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\include" "-IC:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\include\win32" -I_jcc -Ijcc/sources -Ic:\Python26\include -Ic:\Python26\PC -c jcc/sources/jcc.cpp -o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\jcc\sources\jcc.o -DPYTHON -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-write-strings jcc/sources/jcc.cpp: In function 'PyObject* initJCC(PyObject*)': jcc/sources/jcc.cpp:337:48: error: cannot convert 'double' to 'const char*' for argument '1' to 'PyObject* PyString_FromString(const char*)' error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 I believe the #ifdef a few lines above needs to change from #ifdef _MSC_VER to #if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(__WIN32) to match the similar #ifdefs elsewhere in the code. JCC_VER is a double on Windows but a string elsewhere? Odd. Bill
