its beautiful. its "only" taken me a week and a half.
linux documentation is a joke.
until the linux community changes their perspective on documentation,
linux will stay a developers os.
but it seems that we developers want it that way.
man, the knowledge to get all those disparate tools and packages
working requires more than a superficial knowledge of many different
things.
but then the sense of accomplishment afterwards is worth it.
wouldn't want to take that away for others, but i made damn sure
i documented for myself so that i don't ever spend another week and a
half to get lxr up and running.
hints
- the documentation that comes with the lxr download is correct,
but missing some crucial configurations
-if you're using mod_perl with apache, make sure the mod_perl
is working, test it out with a simple mod_perl script
-every word in the INSTALL doc should be read literally
-every word in the INSTALL may mean more than what you're thinking
-its not a puzzle
-you may need to use other installation documentation in addition to the
INSTALL package
good luck
