[KinoSearch] Can't build/install devel 0.20 on Windows (using ActivePerl 5.8)

[Clifton Kussmaul]

I downloaded 4207 and tried to build on CYGWIN_NT-5.2 1.5.25.
"perl Build.PL" runs without errors.
"perl Build" fails with the following:

Writing charmony.h...

Failed to compile a small test file
Creating os object...
Trying to find a bit-bucket a la /dev/null...
Trying to find a supported compiler...

gcc -I. -I../core -I../core/h -Ixs -I../charmonizer/gen 
  -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.10/i686-cygwin/CORE -c -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV
  -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include
  -O3 -o ../core/KSx/Search/FilterScorer.o ../core/KSx/Search/FilterScorer.c
In file included from ../core/KSx/Search/FilterScorer.c:1:
../core/KinoSearch/Util/ToolSet.h:14:22: charmony.h: No such file or
directory

I can't find charmony.h anywhere.
It's possible, even likely, that something is wrong in my configuration,
but the build process doesn't seem to detect the problem.

Thanks,
Clif

The current CPAN dev release 0.20_051, by now pretty old, does not build on
Windows.  

After a weekend of work, SVN trunk rev 4207 builds and passes its tests on
Windows Vista using both MSVC 9 and Strawberry Perl.

However, trunk is a bit messy right now, and it's not quite ready for a
release.

  * Some docs are out of date and inaccurate (e.g. the tutorials).
  * Some of the new APIs that will become public with the next release need
    tweaking.
  * Highlighter has a fairly serious bug.
  * My top priority right now is implementing a feature that
    Eventful needs -- "real time indexing", i.e. negligibly short delay
    between insertion and queryability for new records.

The best I can do for you right now is say, take your chances with trunk rev
4207.
