[sword-devel] 64 bit operating system support?

Mon Jan 18 09:19:24 MST 2016

I don't have access to a GUI machine with Cent installed at the
moment. I haven't noticed an issue with the GTK3 build of Xiphos, but
I only do a very cursory check of the builds.

There are both xiphos-gtk2 and xiphos-gtk3 builds in EPEL7 at the
moment, and you should be able to install them side-by-side. This is
at Karl's request, and is something I have to keep battling the other
Xiphos packagers for in the Fedora/EPEL build system. Sometimes
someone at RedHat goes on a rampage to destroy all GTK2 packages from
places where upstream supports GTK3 and I have to then restore the
dual build.
