Does anyone have a compiled PyLcene 2.0.0 for FreeBSD that they would be willing to share? I am assuming I cannot just copy my compiled Linux version. I have been using PyLucene in my Turbogears application now for a little while now and it's working quite nicely. Just thinking of how PyLucene works makes my head spin! :-D Thanks for all your hard work! I am at the point where I am wanting to deploy my app to my ISPs shared web server, but it is FreeBSD 5.4 (gcc 3.4.2) with no gcj. It would be bad to compile things on a shared web server and I don't know anything about FreeBSD. I am hoping someone out there can save me the learning curve. My only other option is to install and learn FreeBSD and then compile PyLucene. (As a side note, I will be releasing a TGLucene package for TurboGears sometime in the near future. I am also willing to host the FreeBSD binary for others to download, as long as it doesn't kill my bandwidth.)
A while ago (in the PyLucene 1.0 timeframe), someone contributed a patch to the PyLucene Makefile that allowed it to compile there. Since I don't have FreeBSD available, I don't know if it's still working.
Typically, if gcj is sane on FreeBSD - which appeared to be the case then - it shouldn't be any harder to get a sane PyLucene on FreeBSD than on Mac OS X or Linux. Still, it looks like PyLucene on FreeBSD was built with gcj 4.1 and that is rather bleeding edge.
If you embark on this, I'd start with trying to build a recent gcj 4.2.0 snapshot on FreeBSD. To see if the resulting PyLucene is sane, run 'make test'. All tests need to pass.
