[sword-devel] Windows Builds

Mon Feb 12 12:28:59 MST 2018

Thanks Greg,

This time, diatheke /? gave no errors and output the syntax help as expected.

This worked for both x32 and x64 editions.

Best regards,

David

However, since much time has passed since then, it would not surprise me if there are DLL files that have been added to the dependency tree since then. If you encounter issues with executing the files, please give me a holler and I'll see if there's an obvious solution.

>>>>>>>>> For those who are interested, and since I now automate everything I reasonably can manage to automate, you can see the scripts I use to build these files at https://github.com/greg-hellings/config. If you have Vagrant and Ansible installed on your local system, you can build the same results by opening the vagrant/mingw_sword_package folder from that repository and issuing the command "vagrant up". This should be do-able by anyone on any host. Doing so will bring up a guest Fedora 27 system, install the latest test version of the MinGW Sword package, package the results, and create a zip folder in the root of your current directory alongside the Vagrantfile.
