Subject: [OpenGuides-Dev] OpenGuides on Windows?
I've received this message from an interested party:
Search::InvertedIndex is going to be the problem. Fails tests on
Win32 big time!
I did have a go at putting OG and CGI::Wiki::Kwiki up on my Win98 box,
but gave up when finding it couldn't handle S::II
I am a chinese perl lover and I love this open
guides and
want to have a test on my computer. But can't install. My
system is windows xp, and does it can't be installed on this
system? If can, would you please tell me some tips for
installation?
Issues of using a Windows XP box for web hosting aside, is
running OG on
Windows a realistic possibility? I know there are things like
ActivePerl,
but I'm not familiar with them at all.

Hmm. We really do have issues with that one, don't we.
I just got this reply from my correspondent:
Thank you for your reply. For these time I am just
looking the
CGI::Wiki module code. Because the search function is based on other
full text inverted search modules, and those are for english or other
european user, so I must modify some code for suit for chinese :(
I am stuck on this project and want do an open guides on china city.
And I hope to get you help and get more detail material. Thank you.

Is there any chance you could try to do something about this? Jerry
(its author) doesn't have access to a Windows box and neither do I.
It looks like you are in an excellent position to really help us out.
If you could get even one extra test passing and send him a patch,
that would be a start.

I did have a go, but the test script supplied: t/base.t is arcane to say the least.
When I try to run it through the debugger (make testdb), it hits an evil eval and
spews tons of crap while dieing. Not very helpful.
It's failing all the tests. It's barffing in test1 at line 2108:
my $inv_map = Search::InvertedIndex->new({ -database => $database });
but I haven't got to the bottom of where the problem is.
Maybe it might be possible to rewrite t/base.t in a more friendly fashion, but
I don't know if the issues are with the test, with the module, or the environment :(.
In my opinion, t/base.t needs replacing with a more comprehensive and
comprehensible set of tests. Unfortunately, I don't feel I understand enough of
the module and how it works, to take this on. Maybe, given time, particularly,
if I want to do a search index module of my own, I might tackle this.
Sorry not to be of more help.
Ivor.

Damn, damn, damn, I *know* I rewrote at least half of the tests to be
more modular, and now I can't find the CVS repository I left them in!
I did find one, which I mailed to Jerry as an example. It's attached
- see if you can get that passing.
