[sword-devel] Ubuntu 12.04 ....

[Greg Hellings]

Xiphos 3.1.5 requires SWORD SVN. In the Crosswire Ubuntu PPA current
SVN of SWORD is named libsword9.

BibleTime 2.9.1 cannot be built against SWORD SVN but only against
SWORD 1.6.2. In Ubuntu's current release this version of SWORD is
named libsword8.

There is a branch in BibleTime's git repository which allows it to be
built against SWORD's SVN, but because of API changes since then our
current trunk cannot be built. BibleTime will not release a version
which is incompatible with the current SWORD release and that is why
we requested that Troy cut a new release of SWORD. Once SWORD 1.7
(libsword9 in Ubuntu/Debian parlance) is released the next version of
BibleTime released after that will be compatible with the new API and
will therefore require libsword9.

If you want to get more to the bottom of it, try providing Dmitrijs
with the information he specified, but it sounds like you are drawing
the official Ubuntu package of BibleTime and the PPA package of Xiphos
to get the conflict you indicated.
