[Lxr-general] Newbie help for invoking and using LXR

[<ru...@ya...>]

Hello Everybody !

  I came to know about the strong abilties of
LXR recently and want to use it browse through the
linux kernel-2.4.16 source present on my PC .

  For this I have installed lxr-0.3 and
glimpse-4.15 . 

  I'am unable to configure the lxr.conf file and
make use of the lxr facilities .

  The details of my lxr installation are as follows :

The lxr is installed in /usr/local/lxr
which has subdirectories http, source and bin .

The glimpse binary is in /usr/local/bin/glimpse .

I have edited the lxr.conf as shown below .

******************************************

# Configuration file.

# Define typed variable "v", read valueset from file.
variable: v, Version,
[/usr/local/lxr/source/versions],
[/usr/local/lxr/source/defversion]

# Define typed variable "a".  First value is default.
variable: a, Architecture, (i386, alpha, m68k, mips,
ppc, sparc, sparc64)

# Define the base url for the LXR files.
baseurl: file:/usr/local/lxr/http

# These are the templates for the HTML heading,
directory listing and
# footer, respectively.
htmlhead: /usr/local/lxr/http/template-head
htmltail: /usr/local/lxr/http/template-tail
htmldir:  /usr/local/lxr/http/template-dir

# The source is here.
sourceroot: /usr/src/linux/ 
srcrootname: linux

# "#include <foo.h>" is mapped to this directory (in
the LXR source
# tree)
incprefix: /usr/src/linux/include

# The database files go here.
dbdir: /usr/local/lxr/source

# Glimpse can be found here.
glimpsebin: /usr/local/bin/glimpse

# The power of regexps.  This is pretty
Linux-specific, but quite
# useful.  Tinker with it and see what it does. 
(How's that for
# documentation?)
map: /include/asm[^\/]*/ /include/asm-$a/
map: /arch/[^\/]+/ /arch/$a/

******************************************************

Then I have run the command 

(1) /usr/local/lxr/bin/genxref /usr/src/linux

(2) glimpseindex -H . /usr/src/linux

 This has resulted in directories :-
fileidx and xref .

Also it has files :- 
.glimpse_filenames,.glimpse_filenames_index,
.glimpse_filetimes,.glimpse_messages,
.glimpse_statistics,.glimpse_partitions 

   I'am using Red-hat 7.1 with linux-2.4.2 kernel.
The browser used is Netscape on a x86 machine .

    As I think I have done most of the things as 
directed in the install.readme I have included 
all the details . 

      In most of the archives I have seen
others using a server . Is it not possible to 
use lxr to browse local source ? Where do I find and
manipulate Browser related files ? How do I verify
that everything is done correctly ?  

     Please Kindly tell me where I have gone wrong ?
I think I should be missing something crucial .Please
guide me .
 
     Thanks in advance .

With Best Regards
