[sword-devel] Windows CE bible reader

[Chris Little]

Johan,

I've been working on integrating your WinCE stuff with our CVS head, and 
it is progressing fairly well.  (There are only a few unique errors 
still being reported by the compiler.)

The work you did used Sword 1.5.5 as a base, and 1.5.6 introduced a lot 
of additional complexity to our use of STL.  The WinCE implementation of 
STL that you found isn't especially well done and leaves out a number of 
member functions and operators that we use in Sword.  (But, to its 
credit, a commercial version of STL for WinCE that I bought a while back 
had similar defects.)  Once I have that fixed, and have handled a number 
of file-access function calls that have been added since 1.5.5, it 
should be ready to commit to CVS.

I don't know whether it is really feasible, but I will also take a look 
at porting ICU and CLucene to WinCE.

I looked at the interface you made, and it looks like a good start.  I 
have a feeling it suffers from the lack of OSIS filters.  A missionary 
friend of mine down in Brazil asked me just a few weeks ago whether we 
had a WinCE version, so I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that one is now 
in progress.
