--- Begin Message ---Package: lxr Version: 0.3.1-2 Severity: minor README.Debian.gz is very useful for setting up lxr, but is most specific to linux. I wish to use lxr with a different code base. I have followed the instructions and attempted to substitute my codebase for linux where appropriate to no avail. In particular, I find the following paragraph difficult to understand: "Generate the identifier database. Go to the /var/lib/lxr/source/, create a subdirectory (e.g. "2.4.6") and put the linux source in this subdirectory (the subdirectory should be named "linux")." Which should it be, 2.4.6 or "linux"? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-jmtd Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages lxr depends on: ii apache [httpd] 1.3.33-6sarge1 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii perl [perl5] 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Sorry to reply so late! lxr is linux (kernel) specific. You should use lxr-cvs for the new and non kernel specific version. That version support a lot more computer languages, directory structures etc. To use the old version with other code bases it is difficult (changes also in code), and not supported in Debian. For comment about the documentation: you should read 1- create directory "2.4.6" 2- go in "2.4.6" 3- untar linux sources (usually named linux-2.4.6) 4- rename that directory to "linux" so at the and you will have "2.4.6/linux/" I'm not a English native speaker, so I don't know how to rewrite in a better way. ciao cate
