[sword-devel] SWORD 1.7.0RC2

Its not simple to port to Sword 1.7.0_rc2, because the Sword test
magic in BibleTime #includes <ftptrans.h>, which is not available in
1.7. Hence compilation of that file fails. There's no way to do stuff
like:

  #include <sword/version.h>
  #if SWORD_VERSION >= 0x010690
  #include <sword/remotetrans.h>
  typedef sword::FTPTransport SwordRemoteRransport;
  #else
  #include <sword/ftptrans.h>
  typedef sword::RemoteTransport SwordRemoteRransport;
  #endif

in the .cpp file to fix this easily. So I have to write A LOT of CMake
scripts to -D a SWORD_VERSION macro to pass to the compiler, or worse.

To sum up, it is currently not reasonably feasible to write C++ source
code which compiles with both 1.6 and 1.7 versions of Sword. One needs
a lot of support from the build system :(

I again urge you to save us all some time and define a preprocessable
SWORD_VERSION macro alike the *_VERSION macros boost or Qt define! If
properly defined, this would at minimum halve the time needed to port
existing versions of BibleTime to work with both 1.6 and 1.7.

Blessings,
Jaak

PS: It would be wise to install a ftptrans.h file anyway, which
includes a deprecation #warning, an #include "remotetrans.h" and a
typedef aliasing sword::FTPTransport to sword::RemoteTransport.
