<div>Hi Daniel,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Building the bindings is essential - it's what lets Python talk to the C++ sword library. </div>
<div>The problem here is that you haven't got the auto tools.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There was a configure script shipped with the release. It should be in the bindings/swig/package directory. </div>
<div>I'm not sure what the ISO looks like though. If you can't find the configure script, I can send it to you.</div>
<div>I'm pretty sure that sword-svn will be the wrong folder to look in, as it won't have the generated configure script.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Once found, it should be as simple as (from the package directory)</div>
<div>.<span class="str">/configure --with-sword-dir=/usr/include/sword<br>make pythonswig<br>make python_make<br>cd python<br>python setup.py install</span></div>
<div><span class="str"></span> </div>
<div><span class="str">However, don't be surprised if that doesn't work exactly :)</span></div>
<div><span class="str"></span> </div>
<div><span class="str">The process is deatiled at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/wiki/RunningBPBible">http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/wiki/RunningBPBible</a></span></div>

It's a great step forward in terms of functionality--looking up Vietnamese words works perfectly, not to mention all the other functionality.

<br>The website looks sharp; the download button is easy to find, which is important.<br><br>I am running the program in XP in a virtual machine, though, since I am having trouble again in Linux. I installed sword 1.5.11, though I wasn't able to figure out the swig bindings installation--should it be necessary if 1.5.11 is installed? BPBible 0.2 still works, but 0.3 gives me this: <br>

<br>I'm guessing this has to do with the swig bindings, but following the directions in the various README files hasn't worked for me. I assume the swig bindings are in the sword-svn folder on the Sword 1.5.11 CD (that's the only place I could find them), but this is as far as I get: <br>

<div><span class="e" id="q_11a56fdd1eaa96bb_1"><pre>Hi all,
I've just released BPBible 0.3, which adds many more features.
It also has a new website, with forums and screenshots at <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://bpbible.com/" target="_blank">http://bpbible.com</a>
New features (more details at <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://bpbible.com/node/22" target="_blank">http://bpbible.com/node/22</a>):
Header bar - This is a feature unique to BPBible. It is a bar at the top of
the bible window which has all the surrounding chapters on it for easy
access. It also allows you to view an overview of each chapter. This is
easier to try to see than to describe. There is a screenshot of it here:
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://bpbible.com/node/17" target="_blank">http://bpbible.com/node/17</a>
Book Installation
- I've added book installation for downloaded books. InstallMgr support is
not here yet...
Search improvements:
- Highlighting of search terms in results
- New search operator (a, b) which does matches a or b.
Unicode support
- BPBible now should handle all unicode properly - searching may not be very
smart, though (no stemming, accents removal, ...)
Daily Devotional support
Parallel display in the verse compare frame.
Dictionary speed-ups - doesn't load the whole list at the start.
Filter modules by name
BPBible also uses a new locale, which gives nicer references than the
traditional ones
I Samuel -> 1 Samuel
II Samuel -> 2 Samuel
...
III John -> 3 John
Revelation of John -> Revelation
It now interprets Jud as Judges, instead of Jude. This means references in
the TSK to judges will now work properly.
I decided not to include Sword built with ICU support in this release
(although BPBible does support it), as it seems much too buggy and crashes
far too much.
A PortableApps version will probably land later today.
God Bless,
Ben
