Welcome to lucene++ version 3.0.3.
Lucene++ is an up to date C++ port of the popular Java Lucene library, a high-performance, full-featured text search engine.
- liblucene++ library
- liblucene_contrib library
- lucene_tester (unit tester)
- deletefiles (demo)
- indexfiles (demo)
- searchfiles (demo)

You'll need the Boost libraries installed somewhere.
On Debian systems, the following packages are required:
- libboost-date-time-dev
- libboost-filesystem-dev
- libboost-regex-dev
- libboost-thread-dev
- libboost-iostreams-dev
- libboost-test-dev
Note
At present, you must use Boost 1.49 or older. There is an incompatibility
to Boost 1.50 and newer that causes make to fail. See issue #30.
To build the library the following commands should be issued:
$ cmake . $ make $ make install
To build the demo programs, execute the following after having first built the library:
$ make indexfiles searchfiles deletefiles
After running CMake you can use Waf to drive the build. Waf requires that you have a recent version of Python installed on your system.
To build the library the following commands should be issued:
$ ./waf configure $ ./waf --static build
Additionally static builds of the following libraries are required for a successful build:
- boost::date_time
- boost::filesystem
- boost::regex
- boost::thread
- boost::system
- boost::iostreams
- boost::unit_test_framework
The libraries and headers should be made available at a standard prefix (/usr/local for example).
Open solution lucene++.sln located in the msvc folder into Visual Studio 2008 and build.
Note: "BOOST_ROOT" environment variable must be defined to point to the Boost library directory (eg. c:\boost_1_44_0)
You'll need Boost installed.
BoostPro has some precompiled Windows packages. You'll need the following extras installed:
- boost::system - boost::thread - boost::filesystem - boost::regex - boost::date_time - boost::iostreams - boost::unit_test_framework
Use of ccache will speed up build times a lot. I found it easiest to add the /usr/lib/ccache directory to the beginning of your paths. This works for most common compilers:
PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH
lucene_tester is built using the Boost Unit Test Framework and is launched by the following command:
$ bin/lucene_tester --show_progress=yes
Other command options can be supplied.
