[sword-devel] A question about Generic book modules

[Tom Sullivan]

David:


You will have cd to a temporary directory xml2gbs as xml2gbs just puts 
its output in the current directory, then copy files from that temporary 
directory to your .sword library as below, along with your .conf file.


All three of those files are created simultaneously.

After you copy from the temporary directory, you should have a .conf 
file in .sword/mods.d, (done manually), and then from your temporary 
directory: in .sword/modules/genbook/rawgenbook/somemodulename the three 
files *.bdt, *.dat, *.idx.
An images directory should be there also if there are images.

This is Linux. I do not know what Windoze will do.

Hope this helps.

Tom

---------------------> It's apparent that the .dat and .idx files are 
needed for the module to function aright.
