[sword-devel] Trying to build

[Sean Healy]

I'm trying to build the frontend, and I have run into some problems.

I just joined the list, and I saw no search feature on the archives 
page, so if any of this has been answered before, please direct me to 
the appropriate place in the archives.

First, what I'm working with:

Windows XP SP3
Turbo C++ 2006
Revisions
  biblecs: 488
  icu-sword: 154
  sword: 2210

When I try to compile, I get an error about a missing Greek2Greek.cpp. I 
manually removed the reference to that file, and instead got the message 
that I needed to increase my library page size to 1024. So I did that 
(it took me quite a while to figure out how to do it) and tried again. I 
got 19 errors in sword.bdsproj (4 unique errors). (Since that is last in 
the list of projects, everything else appears to have built correctly, 
although with numerous warnings.)

I tried the BCB5 branch as well. First I got a popup telling me that it 
couldn't locate TntLibR.bdsproj, and then I got the following error 
compiling clucene.lib:

[C++ Error] BooleanClause.h(56): E2312 'LuceneVoidBase' is not an

BooleanClause &)

I also tried downloading Borland Compiler 5.5, which is a bunch of 
command line tools, but unfortunately the makefile already present 
didn't work and the tool to convert project files into makefiles is not 
included with Compiler 5.5, so I was unable to do anything with the 
other tools.

I am assuming that the code in the branch compiles under Builder 5, so 
it must be the differences between Builder 5 and Turbo C++ that are the 
issue here. Unfortunately, this is my first time even looking at the 
code and my first time working with Borland products, so I have no idea 
where to even start. Any ideas?

Also, has anyone tried to build under MinGW/MSYS? I assume the engine 
will build fine, since the wiki indicates it builds under Cygwin, but is 
there a makefile for building the frontend?
