This Lemur project release is for Indri 5.11, Galago 3.12, RankLib-2.8 and Sifaka-1.0.
Applications compiled with the Indri API require the following libraries:
z, iberty, pthread, and m on linux.
Applications built in Visual Studio require the additional library wsock32.lib.
The java jar files were built with Java 8 (jdk 1.8.0). The java UIs require Java 8.
We have tested using GCC 4.4.7 (CentOS 6.7 linux), 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04
linux), 4.2.1 (OS/X 10.11.3), and Visual Studio 2012 (Windows 7, WIN32 and x86_64).
Note that OS/X Yosemite (10.10) is not supported at this time.
Note also that Windows 10 is not yet supported. Indri built with Visual Studio
beyond version 2012 has not been tested.
No further development is being done with Indri nor RankLib. Future releases beyond
version indri-5.11 or RankLib-2.8 will be for bug fixes only.
Feature Additions
