<p>You will probably need to have a look at the
<a href="usermanual/rcl.install.html">installation manual</a> for
building and/or installation instructions.</p>
<p><i>For building from source</i>, you will need a xapian-core
installation. You will find source and binary packages on the
<a href="http://www.xapian.org/download.php">Xapian download
page</a>. Recoll should build with any 0.9.x Xapian version
(the current one is 0.9.10).</p>
<p>You need Qt 3.3 (or qt 4) in all cases (configure Recoll with
<em>configure --enable-qt4</em> to build with qt4).</p>
<p>Recoll relies on external packages for some
of its functionality (ie: for many of the non-text file
types). These are not listed as strict dependencies, because
the base application can be sufficient in some cases, but you
should have a look at the
<a href="usermanual/index.html#RCL.INSTALL.EXTERNAL">list</a> to
decide what you may want to install.</p>
<p>If you find problems with the package or its
installation, <em>please</em>
<a href="mailto:jean-francois.dockes@wanadoo.fr">
report them</a>.</p>
<h4>What do the release numbers mean?</h4>
<p>The Recoll releases are numbered X.Y.Z. </p>
<p>The first number would only change for really major
modifications like a big change in the index format. It is
quite possible that X will not actually ever change.</p>
<p>The second number (Y) is for functional
modifications. These may bring bugs, so if you're satisfied
with the previous version, and don't need the new features,
you may want to wait a little, and especially skip the first
release (X.Y.0).</p>
<p>The third number (Z) changes for bug fixes. A maintenance
branch is kept for each X.Y version, and we try to make
minimal changes on this. So, moving from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+u
should in general involve little risk of regression. But,
<em>any</em> change can bring problems, if you are not
affected by the corrected bugs (check the <a
href="CHANGES.txt">changes file</a>), there is probably no
necessity to upgrade anyway.</p>
<h2><a name="filters">Updated filters</a></h2>
<p>New and updated filters are sometimes <a

release</p>

<h2><a name="rpms">Packages</a></h2>
<p>The executables inside the binary rpms have a static link to
xapian, there is no dependency except Qt 3.3. Of course you need
xapian-core installed to use the source rpm. </p>

<h2><a name="otherbinary">Binary bundles</a></h2>
<p>These are just prebuilt trees (without the source files).
The executables were built with xapian 0.9.10 (patched for the
NEAR bug) and libiconv
1.9.2 (where relevant) as static libraries. They depend on qt
3.3. For Solaris, you should be able to find a qt package <a
href="http://www.sunfreeware.com/">here</a>.</p>
<p>The installation instructions are <a
href="usermanual/rcl.install.binary.html"> there</a>.</p>
<p><span class="application">FreeBSD</span> 5.5 i386:

</p>
<p><span class="application">Solaris 8</span> sparc.
Note to Solaris users: you need to perform the initial
indexing pass with "recollindex", not the recoll GUI indexing
thread. See <a href="BUGS.txt">errata</a>.

</p>
<h2><a name="ports">FreeBSD ports</a></h2>
<p>There are ports for both xapian-core
and recoll in the standard tree, you may just need to update
your ports (cvsup, portsnap), or you can get the ports from
the FreeBSD site. The ports are not updated for the xapian
NEAR problem though.

<h2><a name="translations">Translations</a></h2>
<p>Some of the translations for 1.8 are incomplete. The source
translation files are included in the source release. If your
language has some english messages left and you want to take a
shot at fixing the problem, you can send the results to
<a href="mailto:jean-francois.dockes@wanadoo.fr">me</a> and
earn my gratefulness (and your less multilingual
compatriot's)...</p>
<p>Update tranlations that became available (thanks to Mario and
Olaf!) after the release follow. The <literal>.qm</literal> file
should be copied to
<span class="filename">/usr/[local/]share/recoll/translations</span>.
</p>
<p>You can use the <em>.ts</em> file to alter the translations if you
wish (use QT's <em>linguist</em> tool to edit the source file, then
<em>lrelease</em> to produce the <em>.qm</em> file.).</p>
