[sword-devel] Mandatory CLucene Dependency

[Troy A. Griffitts]

This is indeed a build-system bug and not a source code problem.  If our 
autotools files were fixed, the source should build fine without 
clucene.  I hadn't been aware that we still had a problem.  I think 
glasseyes commited a patch recently. Looking....  The last log entry in 
svn on configure.ac is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2008 | dglassey | 2006-11-25 14:17:33 -0700 (Sat, 25 Nov 2006) | 3 lines

add --enable-warnings to build with warnings as errors
fixes for clucene detection

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe he can comment on the issue, or someone more knowledgeable than me 
in autoconf can look at the recent deltas to configure.ac
