[sword-devel] Compiling sword on Mandrake 10

[Troy A. Griffitts]

David Blue,
 	Here's what we have on our server, which builds sword 
successfully:

[scribe at www swordreader]$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

[scribe at www swordreader]$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.8.3


 	If you type: ./autogen.sh
 	in the root of the sword svn checkout, it should build the scripts 
appropriately, then: ./usrinst.sh
 	This last script runs ./configure with basic options that are 
probably useful.  You can edit that script before running it to choose 
your configuration more precisely.

 	Hope this helps,
 		-Troy.
