[sword-devel] Trying to compile a fresh copy of SWORD -- errors

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Michael,

I have reproduced this issue using the autotools build system when 
libcurl is not available (or --without-curl is specified to configure).  
The issue is that we were still trying to build httptest even when curl 
support was not included.  I have updated the autotools build system.  
If you do an svn update, be sure to do a ./autogen.sh before doing your 
./usrinst.sh (or if you use directly ./configure), to pick up the 
changes to the build system.  This was certainly a bug and needed to be 
fixed, though you might consider making libcurl available for your 
build. Thanks for reporting the problem,

Troy
