Just dashed off some quick Porting Hints for Redland, Raptor and Rasqal mostly for win32, based on what I’ve heard from various people and described in email from time to time. I’m pretty confident Raptor is straightforward, quite confident about Rasqal (no requirements but Raptor) but then Redland and the language bindings can take a lot of optional libraries (SleepycatDB/BDB, MySQL, …).

$ gunzip < uniprot.rdf.gz |rapper -c - http://example.org rapper: Error - URI [...]

Linux Kernel Bug 1840: PCI failed to allocate resource
This is a summary of some thoughts I’ve been having about rearranging the Redland packages after some poking by Edd Dumbill based on an email to redland-dev. The problem I’ve been having is that the (7 or 8) language APIs are changing at a faster rate than the core C redland librdf. This is a good thing of course, but it [...]
