Feel free to contact me via e-mail to dpavlin@rot13.org if those instructions
don't work for you.
change data for index often, you might want to drop and re-create database
to erase tables for indexes which are removed.
+ SQLite can be quite faster than PostgreSQL (for reference see SQLite
+ site: http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/speed.html). Since WebPAC doesn't
+ use advanced database facilities of PostgreSQL you would probably be
+ better off with SQLite if you don't have PostgreSQL already installed.
+
+ If you are using SQLite, there is no need to specify dbi_user or dbi_pass.
+ So, just leave them like this:
+
+ dbi_user=""
+ dbi_passwd=""
+
+ If you specify dbi_user and than try to index using different user,
+ you won't be able to write into database.
+
2. Use CPAN shell to install modules used:
$ sudo cpan
to get this one from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/unac/
Config::IniFiles
- DBD::Pg or some other DBD driver, you can also
- use the one which came with distribution
- (e.g. libdbd-pg-perl on Debian)
+ DBD::Pg or some other DBD driver like DBD::SQLite
CGI::Application
- HTML::Pager
HTML::Template
HTML::FillInForm
- SWISH
- SWISH::Fork and of course, swish-e executable
- (e.g. swish-e package on Debian)
+ SWISH::API
XML::Simple
+ Text::Iconv
+ TDB_File
+ HTML::Entities (part of HTML::Parser)
CPAN shell will also download some more modules to satisfy dependencies.
+
If you plan to use M$ Excel files for import (type=excel), you will need:
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
MARC
+
+2.1 Installation on Debian GNU/Linux
+
+ You will need following packages to get started:
+
+ perl
+ swish-e
+
+ and all additional packages which are dependencies.
+
+ You also don't have to install all CPAN modules manually. Just use
+ following Debian packages:
+
+ libtext-unaccent-perl
+ libconfig-inifiles-perl
+ libdbd-pg-perl or some other DBD driver
+ libdbd-sqlite-perl like DBD::SQLite
+ libhtml-template-perl
+ libxml-simple-perl
+ libtext-iconv-perl
+ tdb-dev (for TDB_File module later)
+ libhtml-parser-perl
+
+ and install following packages by hand from CPAN
+ because they are not part of Debian distribution:
+
+ CGI::Application
+ HTML::FillInForm
+ SWISH::API
+
+ and optionally some of those modules:
+
+ Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
+ MARC
+
+ For compilation of OpenIsis in next step, you will also need following
+ packages:
+
+ make
+ gcc
+ libc-dev
+
3. You will need OpenIsis if you are using ISIS as an import format.
- Currently, WebPac uses OpenIsis 0.9.0 which *HAVE TO BE PATCHED*
+ Currently, WebPAC uses OpenIsis 0.9.0 which *HAVE TO BE PATCHED*
with special patch so that perl module OpenIsis.pm have close call
(because there is hard-limit of 32 ISIS files in OpenIsis.pm, and that
is too low for our use).
- Get OpenIsis from:
+ You can do that yourself, or if you did checkout of our subversion repository
+ you will already have latest OpenIsis in webpac/openisis/ directory.
+
+ If you want to do it yourself, first get OpenIsis from:
http://openisis.org/Doc/GetIt
- Get patch for close from:
+ Then get patch for close from:
http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/projects/openisis-0.9.0-perl_close.diff
- Unpack OpenIsis archive and apply patch -p0 to source tree. Type make, and
- than:
+ Unpack OpenIsis archive and apply patch -p0 to source tree.
+
+ Eater way, now you got OpenIsis 0.9.0 with close support for perl. So,
+ first compile C parts:
+ make
+
+ And then compile perl module and install it:
+
+ make perl
cd perl
- perl Makefile.PL
- make
sudo make install
-4. edit global.conf and all2xml.conf to suit your needs. Comments inside
+ Since you need development tools on target machine to compile OpenIsis,
+ you might want to compile it on another machine and just copy perl module.
+
+4. Edit global.conf and all2xml.conf to suit your needs. Comments inside
those files should help get you started.
+5. All perl code will use locale to do sorting. That also include indexes
+ which, while being RDBMS-based, also use perl sorting (because each
+ entry has ordinal number created by perl). So, be sure that LC_COLLATE
+ environment variable is configured for your locale (which also has to
+ be enabled, check dpkg-reconfigure locales if you are using Debian).
