Good news everybody! Apparently the JCC sources are not compatible with
GCC 3.4. I had more luck with GCC 4.1.2 from
http://www.develer.com/oss/GccWinBinaries. I've appended a working patch
against the latest trunk.

Thanks for the patch !
While it is a good example, it would break people using Visual Studio, in particular with the link line, -ljvm. On the other hand, the JDK variable idea I should try to incorporate, on all platforms.

The PyLucene Makefile is really a pain in the ... I had to pull off
several ugly hacks in order to compile PyLucene. Any other system than a
Makefile would greatly improve the situation on Windows. For example
http://www.blueskyonmars.com/projects/paver/ is really nice and easy to use.

Like I said yesterday, a complete setuptools-based solution for PyLucene would be more than welcome and work better on Windows. Until someone writes it, we're all stuck with the Makefile. Any other solution that only helps/works on Windows or makes Python users cringe (ant), and thus duplicates maintenance efforts is not so useful :)

Andi..
