Sorry if this info is posted elsewhere but I've all but given up on
searching for the answer.
My environment is Linux and I'm using the bibletime UI. I have created a
bible using the GBF file format spec found here:
http://www.ebible.org/bible/gbf.htm
I think my main problem may be that the instructions don't specify the
file name I need to use for my newly created GBF file and the conf file
just has a path for DataPath, no filename.
The instructions I am referring to are here:
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/
My conf file looks like this:
[ABCD]
Description=ABCD Bible
About=Created using jBibleTool
DataPath=./modules/texts/rawtext/abcd/
ModDrv=RawText
BlockType=Book
SourceType=GBF
GlobalOptionFilter=GBFRedLetterWords
Version=1.0
Lang=en
LCSH=Bible.English.
DistributionLicense=Public Domain
I tried naming the file everything under the sun but abcd.gbf seemed to
be the logical choice. I placed it under ./modules/texts/rawtext/abcd/
and the conf file is located in mods.d/abcd.conf
The new bible shows up in BibleTime in the tree view but all verses are
empty.
Eventually, I'd like to use md2zmod and create a compressed version but
it also says all the verses are "Skipping [verse reference] no entry in
in Module."
What am I missing? Why wont sword see my plain text GBF file. Is it the
mysterious filename as I suspect? Did I botch the GBF file format and
not seeing an error message somewhere?
Thanks for any assistance anyone may be able to provide. Take care!
