In any case, since building jcc-PyLucene from sources is so much easier than
building the now deprecated gcj-PyLucene, I'd like to move away from myself
setting any expectations as to shipping any binaries whatsoever.
Sure. I was thinking in terms of a Windows installer for UpLib; how
many different builds of JCC PyLucene would I have to do, and if the
user installed a security upgrade for Java, would everything break?
What is UpLib ?
I expect you'd have to at least do one set of binaries per major version of
Python. I don't know about the binary compatibility constraints for Java
itself. I'd hope it's not more restrictive than Python. That is, I'd hope
that any Windows binary built against JDK 1.X.x would work with any JRE
1.X.y but I've not verified nor tried this.
Also, not that it's been tried before to my knowledge, but I don't know
about Vista compatibility. Do binaries built on Vista run on XP, 2000 ? The
other way around ? When I try PyLucene on Windows, I use an old parallels VM
running win2k. And what about 64-bit Windows, has anyone tried PyLucene
there yet ?
Andi..
