[sword-devel] Installing Sword to home dir

[Greg Hellings]

You can certainly do that.  You would simply execute the following:

./configure --prefix=/home/foo
make && make install

That would install the library into /home/foo/lib and the headers into
/home/foo/include with the programs like /home/foo/bin.  You might
want make another directory under /home/foo, such as /home/foo/local
and then the directory structure will be under
/home/foo/local/{include,lib,bin,share,etc}  You would have to add
bin, include, lib, etc into your paths (edit ~/.bash_profile) so that
you can execute them as well as build a front-end against them.  Refer
to your favorite front-end's documentation for how compile it against
the unorthodox sword locale (it's usually not very hard).

Good luck,
Greg
