Re: [htdig-dev] configure in libhtdigphp looking for libhtdig_api.h

[Neal R. <ne...@ri...>]

Roger,
	This is not a required library to use HtDig.  It's main use is if 
you want to write a PHP page to query the index built with HtDig (or a 
program which calls libhtdig functions).

	Basically the configure in libhtdigphp was altered from the 
'libbz' module that can be built in PHP.

	./configure --with-htdig=xxxx 

Where xxx   your-htdig-dir/libhtdig

	After configure you will have to run 'make' which compile 
htdigphp.c and fail onthe link.

	Edit relink.sh and change the references to your own directories 
and run it.  You should have a one-piece library libhtdigphp.so which you 
can use from PHP code.  It's basically a wrapper library for libhtdig.

	I haven't bothered to clean this up as you are the first person to 
report trying to build it.

	I probably need to ditchthe configure and have a simple makefile 
with clear instructions for various path strings to make the process 
more friendly.

	htdig_search.php contains example code to query the index.

Thanks

Neal.
