Hi Philip,

We made two changes lately which affect C client development.

1. Clownfish is a separate product now

You have to clone the clownfish source from the new repo:

    git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/lucy-clownfish.git

Then you can build and install like this:

    cd clownfish/runtime/c
    ./configure
    make
    ./install.sh --prefix $lucy_prefix

Then you can build Lucy. There isn't a easy way to specify the location of Clownfish yet. If you installed into /usr/local, everything should work. Otherwise you have to set some environment variables for now:

    export PATH=$lucy_prefix/bin:$PATH
    export LIBRARY_PATH=$lucy_prefix/lib
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$lucy_prefix/lib
    export CLOWNFISH_INCLUDE=$lucy_prefix/share/clownfish/include

Then build and install Lucy:

    cd lucy/c
    ./configure
    make
    ./install.sh --prefix $lucy_prefix

2. The C headers aren't installed any more

We only install the command-line Clownfish compiler 'cfc' and the Clownfish headers now. These can be used to generate the C headers. Assuming you still have the environment variables from above set, you have to run:

    cfc --dest=autogen

This will create the C headers in the directory 'autogen/include'.

Hope this helps,
Nick
