[sword-devel] Help needed to build Sword Python binding on Windows

[R Johnson]

Hello all,

Today is Labor Day (in the US), and I haven't heard anything about my 
thread "Building Python binding to Sword on Windows returns exit code 1" 
since around Memorial Day (May 26) weekend. I'm disappointed by this, 
because I can't continue working on the Bible software I was attempting 
to write until I can get the binding built on Windows. I apologize if I 
offended anyone.

Since I posted my last message, I have upgraded to Sword 1.7.3.dev3138, 
CMake 3.0.1, and SWIG 3.0.2, which I think fixed one or two of the 
errors I was getting, but I still am not able to successfully build the 
Python bindings. I have attached the output logs (abridged) from Visual 
Studio. The first one is from trying to build the entire libsword 
solution, and the second one is from trying to rebuild the swordswig 
subproject (after moving "Sword.lib" from the "Release" subdirectory to 
the top-level "sword-build" directory).

I'm experienced with Python programming, but know very little C++, so 
regrettably I'm not able to detect and fix the problems myself. I would 
really appreciate further help with this. Thank you.
