Sphinx is a free and open source SQL full-text search engine.
I assume you already have installed Xcode from Snow Leopard DVD.
First step is to download Sphinx, for this little guide we are going to use a beta.
cd into your favourite directory, mine is ‘src’ in my homedir.
cd src curl -O http://www.sphinxsearch.com/downloads/sphinx-0.9.9-rc2.tar.gz
Decompress:
tar zxvf sphinx-0.9.9-rc2.tar.gz cd sphinx-0.9.9-rc2/
For 32-bit users:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
For 64-bit users:
LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
Remember that you can also specify sphinx to use MySQL this way, by appending this string to ./configure:
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
or/and PostgreSQL
--with-pgsqlAll users:
make sudo make install
We are done.
If you encounter some errors, be sure to search for ‘mysql’ in this website, and follow the guide.
hey, did you use which mysql for the path –with-mysql=
I recently upgraded to snow leopard and i am getting a bin_path error on indexing that i cant get around.
