Re: LXR on cygwin?


Gene Smith wrote:

I am interested in running LXR (source browser) on a Windows 2k laptop with cygwin. I have installed lxr-0.9.3 on a couple of linux machines with no problem. LXR, written in perl, uses the following helper applications:

apache
exuberent ctags
glimpse (or swish-e)
mysql (or postgresql)
perl
perl DB driver for mysql or pg

I installed apache, ctags, postgresql and perl from the cygwin setup. Does anyone know of problems I might have installing and getting the whole thing to work under windows/cygwin?

Glimpse or swish-e should also be possible to build, at least Glimpse was suggested for inclusion once, however it doesn't arrived at the Cygwin mirrors.

There exists a somewhat out of date site that descirbes how to do this but with old LXR and cygwin:
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/lxr.htm

Yes, it is pretty old, and uses AS Perl and Win32 Apache, should be easier to get it running with all Cygwin programs.
