Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
At the very least, you will need to download and install the xapian core
|
||||
package (I am currently using xapian version 0.8.5), and the qt runtime
|
||||
and development packages (I am currently using qt 3.3.3).
|
||||
|
||||
You will most probably be able to find a binary package for qt for your
|
||||
system. You may have to compile xapian, but this is not difficult.
|
||||
|
||||
You also need libiconv. I am currently using version 1.9. The iconv
|
||||
interface is part of libc on Linux systems, you shouldn't need to do
|
||||
anything there.
|
||||
|
||||
External file types: recoll uses external applications to index some file
|
||||
types. You need to install them for the file types that you wish to have
|
||||
indexed:
|
||||
|
||||
* MS Word documents: antiword.
|
||||
* PDF files: pdftotext is part of the Xpdf package.
|
||||
* Postscript files: pstotext.

Recoll is mainly glue code, and most of the intelligent parts use code

from external projects.

Recoll borrows (steals?) heavily from the following projects. I tried to
|
||||
include the relevant copyright attributions with the code. Any omission is
|
||||
unintentional and will be fixed as soon as notified.
