rjohnsondev / golibstemmer Goto Github PK

Thank you for working on these bindings for the Snowball C library. I would really like to get this working in Go but am having problems installing.

I don't understand why it is referencing C files that aren't included in the package. But it is, and Go is not happy. See the error below I got when trying to go get.

I see libstemmer.h comes with the C Snowball tarball, but not stdio.h, etc. I compiled the C source into the stemwords executable and installed that, which I supposed was the right thing to do. If I'm supposed to copy some of the C source files somewhere then I have no idea what to do. This was the error on go get:

go get github.com/rjohnsondev/golibstemmer

/home/go/src/github.com/rjohnsondev/golibstemmer/stemmer.go:17:24: fatal error: libstemmer.h: No such file or directory
#include <libstemmer.h>
^
compilation terminated.

According to the docs, snowball stemmer is not thread-safe. It would be if the go wrapper uses a lock around it since the natural assumption in go is that the code is thread-safe.
