Support extensions written in C
-------------------------------
Key: LUCY-215
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCY-215
Project: Lucy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Clownfish
Reporter: Nick Wellnhofer
Assignee: Nick Wellnhofer
Currently, all Lucy extensions that contain C code must be shipped with the
Lucy source tree. In order to support external C-based extensions, Clownfish
must be able to compile .cfh files that extend classes from a separate source
tree. As discussed on the mailing list, a solution could look like this:
* Install the .cfh files together with Lucy.
* When building the extension, rebuild the complete Clownfish hierarchy
together with the new classes.
* Generate C headers, regenerating the headers for Lucy's core classes.
* Compile the extension.
