Xapian在Ubuntu下的安装和测试

安装过程

下载源文件

Xapian官网：Xapiandownload page

解压

tar xf xapian-core-<versionnumber>.tar.xz
tar xf xapian-omega-<versionnumber>.tar.xz
tar xf xapian-bindings-<versionnumber>.tar.xz

配置并创建Xapian库

cd xapian-core-<version>
./configure
make
sudo make install

默认将安装在/usr/local目录下，可以根据自己的要求修改，参考 官方安装指南。配置并创建Omega和Xapian-bindings的方式和这里类似。中间可能要安装几个额外的工具，否则无法继续上面的步骤， 一定要参考各自目录下的INSTALL文件。

快速开始（测试）

利用官方提供的快速开始方式来测试是否安装成功：Quickstart。

代码如下：

//quickstartsearch.cc
#include <xapian.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  if (argc < 3) {
    cout << "usage: " << argv[0] <<
    " <path to database> <search terms>" << endl;
    exit(1);
  }
  
  try {
    Xapian::Database db(argv[1]);
    Xapian::Enquire enquire(db);
    Xapian::Query query(Xapian::Query::OP_OR, argv + 2, argv + argc);
    cout << "Performing query '" << query.get_description() << "'" << endl;
    enquire.set_query(query);
    Xapian::MSet matches = enquire.get_mset(0, 10);
    cout << matches.size() << " results found" << endl;
    for (Xapian::MSetIterator i = matches.begin(); i != matches.end(); ++ i) {
       Xapian::Document doc = i.get_document();
       cout << "Document ID " << *i << "\t" <<
         i.get_percent() << "% [" << doc.get_data() << "]" << endl;
     }
  } catch (const Xapian::Error &error) {
    cout << "Exception: " << error.get_msg() << endl;
  }
}

编译：g++ -o quickstartsearch quickstartsearch.cc -lxapian 注意这里要加入xapian库进行编译，否则会出错。

运行：

$ ./quickstartindex proverbs \
> "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones" \
> people live glass house stone
$ ./quickstartindex proverbs \
> "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" \
> look gift horse mouth

$ ./quickstartsearch proverbs look
Performing query `look'
1 results found
Document ID 2   50% [Don't look a gift horse in the mouth]
