[sword-devel] Windows Builds

[David Haslam]

Thanks Greg,

I just downloaded sword-utils-1.8.1-x86_64-release.zip and created a symbolic link under my sword path to the extracted folder.

It may be a while before I chance to try any of the utilities.

Are there any notes on what's different between the x32 and x64 builds ?

cf. My PC has Windows 7 x64.

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.

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.
