[sword-devel] BPBible 0.3

[Ben Morgan]

Hi Daniel,

Building the bindings is essential - it's what lets Python talk to the C++
sword library.
The problem here is that you haven't got the auto tools.

There was a configure script shipped with the release. It should be in the
bindings/swig/package directory.
I'm not sure what the ISO looks like though. If you can't find the configure
script, I can send it to you.
I'm pretty sure that sword-svn will be the wrong folder to look in, as it
won't have the generated configure script.

Once found, it should be as simple as (from the package directory)
./configure --with-sword-dir=/usr/include/sword
make pythonswig
make python_make
cd python
python setup.py install

However, don't be surprised if that doesn't work exactly :)

The process is deatiled at

God Bless,
Ben
