[sword-devel] Mobile HTML JavaScript - Bishop + Designers, Help Wanted

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey Greg,

Yes, we have officially pubished the cordova-plugin-crosswire-sword
bundle (version 0.0.3 as of this writing) which makes it way easier to
build Bishop.  You no longer need to build all the native code for
Android and iOS-- it is all pre-built and included in the plugin.

sudo npm install -g cordova

Basically, clone the repo to ./bishop

cd bishop

make setup

make

make run

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

Troy
