[Tracker] Question about running tracker.

[Don Rozenberg <rozen mcn org>]

Hi,

I just download 0.5.4 source and build and installed it in /usr/local.  
I am running Kubuntu 6.06 and I have a couple of questions.

1.  It seems to configure giving the following result:

Tracker-0.5.4:

       prefix:                                 /usr/local
       source code location:                   .
       compiler:                               gcc
       enable gcc warnings:                    yes
       build with debug symbols:               no
       database engine:                        SQLite
       file monitor backend to be used:        inotify
       inotify header location:                linux/inotify.h
       ioprio support:                         no
       build search tool (GNOME):              no

Metadata extractors:

       pdf:                                    yes
       png:                                    yes
       exif (jpeg):                            yes
       gsf:                                    yes
       video files:                            ? (An external video 
player will be called)

How do I get it to build the search tool?  There are "missing" messages 
from configure relevant to GNOME or the GUI.  In fact it builds the 
makefile for tracker-search-tool but make never goes there.

2. I have the bulk of my personal files in a separate partition 
"/usr-files/rozen" and in my home directory "/home/rozen" I have 
symbolic links to various directories in "/usr-files/rozen"  
Apparently,  tracker does not follow symbolic links; it doesn't seem to 
index any of those files.
I went into ~/.Tracker/tracker/cfg and added ";/usr-files/rozen, but 
nothing seemed to happen when I saved the file.  I then used kill to 
terminate trackerd and restarted it.  But it still does appear to do 
anything different.  How can I get those additional files indexed?  Is 
there a command to get tracker to restart with the new config? The line 
in th config file is:

WatchDirectoryRoots=/home/rozen;/usr-files/rozen


Tracker looks good. Hope I can get it working for me.   It actually does 
seem to index my small home directory.

Thanks in Advance,
Don
