Bug#256283: [pylucene-dev] Re: pylucene-dev Digest, Vol 4, Issue 2

>Who/What is Upsteam ? Doug Cutting ?

Yes, Doug Cutting and other Java Lucene developers. I meant to say
upstream instead of upsteam.

I didn't see any segfaults or compilation warnings.  Lucene is version
1.4.1 and gcj reports its version as "gcj-3.4 (GCC) 3.4.1 (Debian
3.4.1-4sarge1)"

gcj-3.4 -O3 \
        /usr/share/javalucene-1.4.jar \
        /usr/share/java/lucene-demos-1.4.jar \
        -o lucene-search \
        --main=org.apache.lucene.demo.SearchFiles

Very well, I will drop the idea of a naked gcj compiled Java
Lucene. If you feel the situation changes in the future (due to a
better gcj) please let me know. In the meantime us poor C application
programmers will be stuck with Clucene.

Cheers,
