All this cygdrive stuff was getting too complicated, as I had /cygwin/bin
in my path. To simplify things, I took cygwin/bin out of my path and put
cygwin1.dll into its own directory, with that directory in the path.
Next I installed activeware perl, as this appears to be the perl of choice
of successful win32 htdig users. Then I set TMPDIR=d//
Now htdig runs, with no errors when it encounters a pdf. For example
15:15:1:http://marcusv_pc:8080/toracomm/pdf/DS012_Design_Services.pdf:
size = 69129
But when I run htmerge, I get for example
Deleted, no excerpt:
15/http://marcusv_pc:8080/toracomm/pdf/DS012_Design_Services.pdf
Is the pdf being indexed or not? Anyone got any ideas?
