[Package]: recoll

[JCGoran]

Package description

Recoll is a full-text search tool which (currently) runs on Linux, MacOS, and MS Windows. While there is a GUI provided, it is entirely optional, and there is a web based frontend which can be used to run on basically any platform.
The program has already been a long time in the Debian main repository, so I presume that counts as "well-known".

Packaging policy acknowledgement

• I have read and understand the Packaging Policy.

Additional information

There is a related Recoll web UI issue.
I tried compiling on my device (Android 10 device on aarch64), but was ultimately unsuccessful due to linker errors.

Requirements

The packages I installed using pkg are:

termux-tools
git
libtool
make
automake
clang
binutils
gettext
file
libxapian
libxslt
pkg-config

Compilation

I initially cloned the repo:

git clone https://framagit.org/medoc92/recoll

then cded to the src/ subdirectory, and ran:

sh autogen.sh
# disables support for CHM files, for which there doesn't appear to be a suitable library on Termux repos
# also disables any GUI support since we don't need it for the web frontend
./configure --prefix="${PREFIX}" --disable-python-chm --disable-x11mon --disable-qtgui

After a while, I run into a cryptic error:

./configure: 19872: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

with the offending line being:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XSLT, libxslt, , as_fn_error $? "libxslt" "$LINENO" 5)

After removing this line and hoping for the best, the configuration ran successfully.
Finally, I just ran make, but encountered an error at the following command:

make[2]: *** [Makefile:1648: librecoll.la] Error 1

According to this and this issue, I tried running both with CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -mno-outline-atomics" and CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -moutline-atomics", but neither worked (__aarch64_ldadd8_relax and/or __aarch64_ldadd8_acq_rel missing), so I'm not entirely sure what to do. If anyone can provide guidance on resolving this issues, I can try compiling again and report back.
