Edward,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I've been in the middle of a
huge project here which is keeping me very busy. I am going to do my best
to help but keep in mind it was several months ago that I built PyLucene on
our servers. FYI, I spent hours upon hours getting this to work but it was
very worth it as we have used PyLucene on FreeBSD for several months now
with thousands of concurrent queries without issue.
I built GCJ from ports, not by hand as I also couldn't get PyLucene to pass
the make tests when I did so. A while back, the gcc 3.4 maintainer removed
the java build as he felt no one wanted/needed it ( how wrong he was! ). I
apologize that I lost my patch but one simply needs to download the GCJ
source (eg gcc-java-3.4.6.tar.bz2) to /usr/ports/distfiles and update the
port's makefile (adding the final line below):
DISTFILES= gcc-core-${VERSIONSTRING}${EXTRACT_SUFX} \
gcc-g++-${VERSIONSTRING}${EXTRACT_SUFX} \
gcc-g77-${VERSIONSTRING}${EXTRACT_SUFX} \
gcc-objc-${VERSIONSTRING}${EXTRACT_SUFX} \
gcc-testsuite-${VERSIONSTRING}${EXTRACT_SUFX} \
gcc-java-${VERSIONSTRING}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
Once gcc/gcj is built and installed, I used the following Makefile settings
for PyLucene:
# FreeBSD
PREFIX=/usr/local
PREFIX_PYTHON=$(PREFIX)
LIBDIR_NAME=lib
GCJ_HOME=/usr/local
GCJ_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-portbld-freebsd6.2/3.4.6
GCJ_STATIC=0
LIB_INSTALL=libstdc++.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1
CC=$(GCJ_HOME)/bin/gcc34
CXX=$(GCJ_HOME)/bin/g++34
JCC=$(GCJ_HOME)/bin/gcj34
JCCH=$(GCJ_HOME)/bin/gcjh34
ANT=ant
PYTHON=$(PREFIX_PYTHON)/bin/python
Obviously, modify this for your version of FreeBSD and also be sure to
install apache ant, libiconv and gettext prior to building.
Give it a run and let me know how it works out. I'll help anyway that I
can.
