[Lxr-general] setting up lxr for local code base

[sean y. <sea...@ho...>]

Anyone has the experience to setup an lxr server to view code on his
local machine?
For example, i want to read src code not only kernel, but also gcc code
on my machine.

The INSTALL file says, I need to setup a webserver first, even I just
look at code myself? Do I understand the INSTALL instruction in a wrong way?

-------------------------------------
      1 In order to install LXR, you will need:
      2
      3  - Perl version 5 or later.
      4  - A webserver with cgi-script capabilities.
      5
      6 and optionally, to enable the freetext search queries:
      7
      8  - Glimpse
.....

You have not misunderstood - you need a webserver even to browse local 
sources.

LXR is a web-based source browsing system, and that means a webserver is 
required.  Luckily it isn't that hard to setup a webserver - Apache is 
available as binaries for virtually all platforms.
