[Lxr-general] installing LXR

[Guido S. <cau...@ya...>]

I just downloaded and installed LXR-0.9 but had to do quite a bit of
research and patching to get it working to my satisfaction. I have 
written a new INSTALL document to help others with the process as 
well as a small patch, which is needed to munge glimpse URLs so
that searches for files from a CVS repository result in URLs that
send the browser to the correct file instead of giving a file not
found message.

To use this patch, add the following to your lxr.conf

'strip' => '/usr/local/lxr/my_project'

where my_project is a checked out version of the CVS project.

Attached is an expanded INSTALL document. Thanks for LXR!
