Installing over an older version: version 1.13 indexes are
- mostly compatible with 1.11, but some new, relatively minor,
- features (ie: duplicates collapsing) depend on a full index
- rebuild.
-
- If installing over 1.10 or older, you need a full
- rebuild. The best way to do this is to just delete the old
- .recoll/xapiandb directory,
- especially if the index was created by an older version.
- (ie: rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb/). On very
- old indexes, recollindex -z may sometimes end
- with a backend doesn't implement metadata error,
- which is wasteful because you then need to delete xapiandb and
- run the indexing again.
Most binary packages on this page need a Qt 3.3 runtime
- environment (Qt 4.x is specified for a few). To make things easier,
- on systems where Xapian is not available from the standard package
- repositories, the Recoll package will have a static link to Xapian
- so that you do not need to build/install it separately.
-
-
Optional packages used by document filters:
-
- take a look at the list and decide what you need to
- install.
-
-
The Recoll term explorer tool in phonetic mode (marginally
- useful and optional) uses the aspell package, version
- 0.60 (utf-8 support) or newer.
-
-
If you find problems with this page, the package or its
- installation, please
-
- report them.
-
-
What do the release numbers mean?
-
-
The Recoll releases are numbered X.Y.Z. The X
- would only change for really major modifications like a big
- change in the index format, and possibly won't ever reach
- 2.
-
-
Y is for functional modifications. These may bring bugs, so
- if you don't need the new features, you may want to wait a little,
- and especially skip the first release (X.Y.0), at least for a few
- weeks.
-
-
Z changes for bug fixes only,
- and moving from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+u should in general involve
- little risk of regression. But, any change can bring
- problems, if you are not affected by the corrected bugs (check
- the changes file), there is
- probably no necessity to upgrade anyway.
C++ compiler. Its absence sometimes manifests itself by
- strange messages about iconv_open (fixed after 1.13.04).
-
-
Xapian core development libraries. Most Linux distributions
- carry them in their package repository. Or you will find source and
- binary packages on the
-
- Xapian download page.
-
- Recoll 1.13 needs at least xapian 1.0.5, I suggest using the
- latest 1.0 Xapian (1.0.18 currently). It's at least quite
- preferable to use a Xapian version after 1.0.12 as they don't
- need the NEAR patch
- any more.
-
-
Compiling with Xapian
- 1.2: because of some small
- include file issues, Recoll 1.13 does not compile with Xapian
- 1.2. You can apply this small
- patch to fix the problem. With the patch applied, Recoll
- works just fine with the latest and greatest Xapian.
-
-
X11 development files.
-
zlib development files.
-
Qt development files
- You can build with Qt 3.3 or Qt 4. Recoll will
- automatically be configured to build with Qt 4 if the version
- of qmake found in $PATH:$QTDIR/bin is for Qt 4 (you can/should also
- set the QMAKE variable to explicitely choose the
- desired version, like QMAKE=qmake-qt4).
-
There seems to be a few issues in Qt 4.4.0 (2008-08-23),
- resulting in problems when displaying the Recoll result
- list. Qt 4.3, 4.4.x,4.5 and 4.6 seem to work fine.

-
KDE kicker applet:
-
the applet can start a Recoll search
- from the KDE toolbar. It is in a separate source file.
- recoll_applet-1.10.0.tgz.
- This is a very slightly modified version of the
-
- find_applet. It will work with any recoll version after 1.10.
-
-
Source repository:
-
The Recoll source repository is
- hosted on
- bitbucket.org.
- The trunk is usually a bit on the bleeding edge, but there is
- always a maintenance branch for the current production version.
Packages or ports for Recoll are available in the standard
- repositories for many distributions.
-
However they are often a bit older or built with older Xapian
- releases. Here follow a number of updated packages and
- instructions for a number of distributions.
-
-
Ubuntu
-
-
There are Personal Package Archives on launchpad.net for
-
- Xapian,
-
- Recoll and kio-recoll. These were built from the latest versions,
- for a set of Ubuntu series. You just need to add the
- PPAs to your system software sources (the instructions are on
- the PPA page or
-
- here), and you can then use the normal package
- manager to install or update Recoll and Xapian. To avoid
- messages about signature errors, if not done at the previous step,
- you may have to explicitely import the
- Recoll and Xapian public keys (as root):
Except if specified otherwise, the
- executables inside the binary rpms which follow have a
- static link to Xapian (1.0.16-18), there is no real dependency
- except Qt 3 or Qt 4.
- Some Fedora and Mandriva packages unfortunately think that they
- depend on exiftool (which is needed by the little used jpeg
- info filter), due to excessive rpmbuild cleverness.
- You need to install the Xapian, Qt, and zlib development
- packages if you want use the source rpms.
More builds contributed by Terry, thanks. 64 bits versions
- are included and the spec file is improved and should help
- those who want to rebuild from the source rpms. Normally linked
- (need Xapian and zlib libraries):
If you build from source on OpenSUSE 11, note that the default
- qt4 version on some systems is 4.4.0 which will badly
- display the the result list icons. Use qt3 or install a
- newer version of qt4.
These are just prebuilt trees (without the source files).
- The executables were built with xapian 1.0.8 (patched for the
- NEAR bug) and libiconv 1.9.2 (where relevant) as static
- libraries. They depend on miscellaneous versions of Qt. For
- Solaris, you should be able to find a Qt package on
- sunfreeware.
The FreeBSD ports track the Recoll releases quite
- closely, so there is actually little point in using the
- following. Only for the really impatient:
Recoll also builds and runs on Solaris 10, but, given the
- situation (2008) of open source packages for Solaris (very old
- Qt on the Companion CD, inconsistent versions of the compiler and
- non-threaded version of Qt on sunfreeware), I've come to the
- temporary conclusion that you are better off building than
- trying to install packages. The approach I tried in 2008 and
- which worked was to:
-
-
Install gcc 3.4.6 and gnu make from the sunfreeware
- packages (go to /usr/local). I guess that the gcc in
- /usr/sfw should be ok too here.
-
Compile xapian-core and install it (with prefix /usr/local).
-
Configure and install Qt. The following config worked for me,
- with Qt 3.3.8:
-
- Then make. Weirdly, I had to add the Qt build lib/
- directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at some point during the
- build).
-
-
Set QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-3.3.8 and
- QMAKESPEC=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-3.3.8/mkspecs/solaris-g++
- and add $QTDIR/bin to the PATH then configure, make and
- install Recoll
-
Don't forget to use recollindex for the first index
- build, recoll does not work for this (exception handling
- mystery probably).
-
-
-
Obviously, there are other ways to do it (use CC, install
- some place else ... ), but I tried this one.
There are ports for both xapian-core
- and recoll in the standard tree, you may just need to update
- your ports (cvsup, portsnap), or you can get the ports from
- the FreeBSD site.
-
- xapian port
-
- recoll port.
Most of the translations for 1.13 are incomplete. The source
- translation files are included in the source release. If your
- language has some english messages left and you want to take a
- shot at fixing the problem, you can send the results to
- me and
- earn my gratefulness (and your less multilingual
- compatriot's)...
-
-
You can use the .ts file to alter the translations if you
- wish (use Qt's linguist tool to edit the source file,
- then lrelease to produce the .qm file.).
- The .qm file should be copied to
- /usr/[local/]share/recoll/translations
-
-
-
recoll_xx.ts is a blank
- Recoll 1.13 message file, handy to work on a new translation.
-

Updated 1.13 translations that became available after the

The indexing filters for some document types may need
- external packages not installed on your system by default, and
- not installed automatically with Recoll:

Note on
- building Xapian for older CPUs: The

- 1.2.1 or newer enable the use of SSE2 floating point
- instructions. These instructions are not available in CPUs
- older than Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64. When
- building for such a CPU, you need to add the

Recoll is in the KDE:Extra repository
-
-
- You just need to add the repository to your
- software sources (Yast2->software->Software repositories).
-
- Repository list (supported Suse versions). After adding the
- appropriate repository to your software sources, you will be
- able to install recoll and kio_recoll from the software
- management interface. The Xapian dependancy will also be
- satisfied from the build service repository. Some of the older
- repositories do not build antiword, just tell the software manager
- to "break" recoll by installing anyway, and get antiword
- somewhere else.
These are just prebuilt trees (without the source files).
- Xapian is statically linked. They still depend on Qt. For
- Solaris, you should be able to find a Qt package on
- sunfreeware.
The FreeBSD ports track the Recoll releases quite

-
-
-
The ports in the standard FreeBSD tree
- have been stuck to older xapian and recoll versions for
- obscure reasons (the patches for xapian 1.2 have been in the
- bug report system for months). As frustrated maintainer of the
- FreeBSD Xapian and Recoll ports, I hereby make
- available the
- port directories that should be in the port tree if the world
- was perfect. Just extract this anywhere and make
- away!

New and updated filters are sometimes
- available before the next
- Recoll release. As far as I know, all current filters are
- fully compatible with older Recoll releases (from 1.13), so
- you can install new or updated filters on
- older Recoll packages and gain new file type support without
- destabilizing your search setup.

- from the KDE3 toolbar. It is in a separate source file.
- recoll_applet-1.10.0.tgz.
- This is a very slightly modified version of the
-
- find_applet. It will work with any recoll version after
- 1.10. KDE 3 only.

Source repository:
-
The Recoll source repository is
- hosted on
- bitbucket.org.
- The trunk is usually a bit on the bleeding edge, but there is
- always a maintenance branch for the current production version.
Packages or ports for Recoll are available in the standard
- repositories for many distributions.
-
However they are often a bit older or built with older Xapian
- releases. Here follow a number of updated packages and
- instructions for a number of distributions.
-
All binary packages on this page need a Qt 4 (4.4 at least) runtime
- environment. To make things easier, on systems where Xapian is
- not available from the standard package repositories, the
- Recoll package will have a static link to Xapian so that you
- do not need to build/install it separately.
There are Personal Package Archives on launchpad.net for
-
- Xapian,
-
- Recoll and kio-recoll. These were built from the latest versions,
- for a set of Ubuntu series.
-
-
Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) and later versions just need the Recoll
- PPA. Older versions also needed a backport for Xapian
- (xapian-backports/xapian-1.2).
-
-
Just add the
- PPA to your system software sources (the instructions are on
- the PPA page or
-
- here), and you can then use the normal package
- manager to install or update Recoll. For Ubuntu versions
- after 9.10 (Karmic), only one command is needed:
-
Some Fedora and Mandriva packages unfortunately think that they
- depend on exiftool (which is needed by the little used jpeg
- info filter), due to excessive rpmbuild cleverness.
- You'll need to install the Xapian, Qt, and zlib development
- packages if you want use the source rpms.
-
-
Fedora
-
Recoll is present in the standard Fedora package
- repositories starting from F-12. The new versions are tracked quite
- closely, so I don't build the rpms any more (email me if you need
- one).
-
-
-
OpenSUSE
-
-
Recoll is in the KDE:Extra repository
-
-
- You just need to add the repository to your
- software sources (Yast2->software->Software repositories).
-
- Repository list (supported Suse versions). After adding the
- appropriate repository to your software sources, you will be
- able to install recoll and kio_recoll from the software
- management interface. The Xapian dependancy will also be
- satisfied from the build service repository. Some of the older
- repositories do not build antiword, just tell the software manager
- to "break" recoll by installing anyway, and get antiword
- somewhere else.
There are currently no more binary bundles. Section kept as
- placeholder.
-
These are just prebuilt trees (without the source files).
- Xapian is statically linked. They still depend on Qt. For
- Solaris, you should be able to find a Qt package on
- sunfreeware.
It seems that Recoll will sometimes find data that Spotlight
- misses (especially inside pdfs apparently, which is probably
- more to the credit of poppler than recoll itself).
Most of the translations for 1.16 are incomplete
- The source translation files are included in the source
- release. If your language has some english messages left and
- you want to take a shot at fixing the problem, you can send
- the results to me and earn
- my gratefulness (and your less multilingual
- compatriot's)...
-
-
You can use the .ts file to alter the translations if you
- wish (use Qt's linguist tool to edit the source file,
- then lrelease to produce the .qm file.).
- The .qm file should be copied to
- /usr/[local/]share/recoll/translations
-
-
-
recoll_xx.ts is a blank
- Recoll 1.16 message file, handy to work on a new translation.
