I maintain a cross compile of sword that sits on top of the Fedora mingw toolchain if you want to use it.</p>

Hi Daniel<br>
Since your problem is in the flatapi, continue in the instructions
for the c# bindings.<br>
There are some changes that need to be made in the dll export
declaration to get<br>
it to work with Windows. Those are steps 5 and 6 of the tutorial.
Also, in step 9, you<br>
need to make sure that the dlls listed are in the same directory as
your project output<br>
(or in a lib path)<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've been having trouble building libsword.dll for
windows.<br>
I've followed the information here: <a href="http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Tutorial:Compiling_%26_Installing_SWORD_on_Windows" target="_blank">http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Tutorial:Compiling_%26_Installing_SWORD_on_Windows</a><br>
<br>
Finally figured out (searching the sword-devel
archives) that all I needed to do was rename icu to
icu-sword and similarly rename the curl output dir to
what MSVS was expecting and I was able to build the
solution.<br>
<br>
However: I can't seem to link against the
libsword.dll/libsword.lib.<br>
The only way I have been able to successfully build my
project with libsword is by adding objects.a
(generated by cross-compiling libsword on linux using
mxe) to the list of sources which effectively copies
all the objects in.<br>
<br>
This is what I get at compile time when I link against
libsword.dll<br>
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x41): undefined
reference to `<a>sword::MarkupFilterMgr::MarkupFilterMgr(char</a>,
char)'<br>
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x5c): undefined
reference to `<a>sword::SWMgr::SWMgr(sword::SWFilterMgr*</a>,
bool)'<br>
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x95): undefined

agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0xb5): undefined

agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0xdd): undefined
reference to `<a>sword::SWModule::renderText(char</a> const*,
int, bool)'<br>
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x10b):
undefined reference to `<a>sword::SWMgr::~SWMgr()</a>'<br>
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x129):
undefined reference to `<a>sword::SWKey::~SWKey()</a>'<br>
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x13a):
undefined reference to `<a>sword::SWMgr::~SWMgr()</a>'<br>
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text$_ZN5sword5SWBufD1Ev[__ZN5sword5SWBufD1Ev]+0xfffffe6c):
undefined reference to `<a>sword::SWBuf::nullStr</a>'<br>
<br>
These compile time errors disappear when I add
objects.a to the list of sources AND there are no
run-time errors either (despite neither linking
against icu).<br>
<br>
I have no idea whats going on. Perhaps it's because I
build libsword.dll with MS Visual Studio and am trying
to link it with MinGW's g++...<br>
<br>
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it!<br>

Daniel, i think you should subscribe to
sword-devel. Sword support is more about people
not being<br>
able to understand the programms they downloaded
etc. I am sure your problem has been discussed<br>
several times on that list.<br>
<br>
Biblecs might be a VS programme, but most others
use msys which is a pared down unixy<br>

In regards to my linking issuse, the latest news
is that I have managed to link against the<br>
libsword.dll.a and, because of the run time
errors, tracked the undefined references down to<br>
the icu*54.dlls. I'll try recompiling them (I
also downloaded pre-compiled ones for icu too -<br>
dunno if I've tried those).<br>
<br>
I don't know why, but when I use libsword.a
instead of libsword.dll.a, I get neither compile<br>
time nor run time errors. Then again, I haven't
tried actually calling the sword functions yet<br>
in my windows port - just wanted it to compile
first!<br>
<br>
Atm, I'm reading up about all these forms of
library files. I think that will help me figure<br>
out what is going on.<br>

my main question is why I can't simply

to be a problem with MS Visual Studio 2013
as I've encountered even errors such as<br>
"can not find stdio.h/stdlib.h" when
generating the clucene solution with cmake.<br>
The solution file for SWORD also doesn't
build. I'm most likely noobing something<br>
here though because I never develop on
