Installation of Strigi

Install strigi by running the following commands: 

sed -i "s/BufferedStream :/STREAMS_EXPORT &/" libstreams/include/strigi/bufferedstream.h &&

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib  \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      -DENABLE_CLUCENE=OFF        \
      -DENABLE_CLUCENE_NG=OFF     \
      .. &&
make

To test the results, issue make test.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

sed -i "...": This command fixes the build with recent GCC versions.

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib: This switch is used so the package doesn't write over the lib64 symlink on 64 bit systems.

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply higher level of the compiler optimizations.

-DENABLE_DBUS=OFF: Use this cmake variable if you don't have D-Bus installed.

-DENABLE_QT4=OFF: Use this cmake variable if you don't have Qt4 installed or if you compiled Qt4 without D-Bus support.

-DENABLE_CLUCENE*=OFF: These statements disable the package from trying to use CLucene-2.3.3.4 (current stable version).
