[sword-devel] Compiling SWORD API using MinGW

[Chris Little]

Hmm, I'm surprised you had issues with ICU. I tried icu-sword from our 
repository and it didn't work, but I'm fairly sure that was because of 
recent changes that were my fault. (I'll have to fix that I guess, since 
it should also affect Linux builds.) But I used the stock ICU from their 
SVN repo and it built without complication (using 'runConfigure 
Cygwin'). Not that I've tested it, but Sword found and built itself with 
ICU just fine.
