Sorry, I did not realize that the current Lucene.Net does not provide
VS.NET 2003 (.NET 1.1) solutions/projects anymore.
prj2make is not suitable for MSBuild projects. You may have more
luck with "xbuild", which is mono's MSBuild implementation.
Or with MonoDevelop 2.0.
Anyway, you don't even need to build under mono because you can
just take the assemblies that you've built under Windows.
We're performing a pure binary deployment on Linux servers and
did not encounter any problems/incompatibilities related to Lucene.Net.
Due to the fact how we're filtering/indexing, the application is
even 10x faster under Linux than under Windows. But this is just
an artifact of Window's extremely slow process creation support.

I had downloaded the preinstalled Mono development suite, VMWare virtual
machine, from their web site. I would expect this to show case, the best set
of Mono tools and demo applications that exist.
But no, pjr2make fails as described.
I also tried the latest downloadable package for Mac OS X; with lots of effort
I was able to compile Lucene, but along the way many limitations of the Mono
environment became apparent.
For non Microsoft.NET platforms, it seems Java Lucene offers a better solution.

The current prj2make appears to be broken.
It throws a number of exceptions and does not produce a makefile from either
the solution file or the project file.
At the moment it looks like the only way to build a viable Lucene.Net with mono
is to use MonoDevelop.
prj2make should work just fine unless you're running an official
Debian Mono. The Debian maintainers are still packaging an ancient
prj2make in place of the current one.
