Someone might want to add a note to the documentation about removing the
"-ggdb" flag from CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS & LDFLAGS in Makefile.config.in
before running configure (or Makefile.config after running configure),
in order to compile under Linux. This is a must! It will seem to
compile OK with the -ggdb option, but you'll get strange errors when
you run htmerge, e.g.:
Somewhere_deep_inside...: /opt/www/htdig/db/db.docdb: unexpected file format
Red Hat Linux users may be interested in the i386 and source RPMs for
htdig 3.1.0b1, which are available by ftp from contrib.redhat.com,
or any Red Hat mirror site that carries the contrib files.
If you want to build it yourself, but want it to adhere to the Linux
FSSTND conventions for configuration and database file locations,
you can apply the patch below to the original 3.1.0b1 source tree,
and build and install it wich these commands:
CFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/usr/sbin --libexec=/usr/lib --libdir=/usr/lib \
--mandir=/usr/man --sysconfdir=/etc/htdig --localstatedir=/var/htdig
make
mkdir -p /etc/htdig
mkdir -p /home/httpd/html/htdig
mkdir -p /var/lib/htdig/common
mkdir -p /var/lib/htdig/db
make ROOT="" install
chmod -R go-w /home/httpd/html/htdig /var/lib/htdig
chmod a-x /var/lib/htdig/common/*
chmod go-w /usr/sbin/ht* /home/httpd/cgi-bin/htsearch
strip /usr/sbin/ht* /home/httpd/cgi-bin/htsearch
Here's the patch file:
