Be sure to read INSTALL for information on how to get the software built, configured, and running properly. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the latest source and info at: http://www.crosswire.org UNIX developers You can try a './configure' (or optionally './usrinst.sh' for normal user configure options), then 'make' from this directory. This should compile everthing needed. You may type './configure --help' to see a list of options. If all compiles file, a 'make install' (as root, probably) will install libs to your system and you may begin using the library. There are a few basic tests (sword/tests), utilities (sword/utilities), examples (sword/examples/*) and very basic apps (sword/apps), in the tree. The apps each have their own make system, so look for a ./configure or a README. ./buildtest.cpp compiles to the executable 'buildtest' as a test to see if the libs have compiled and can be linked against successfully. This is NOT the final target of the build, nor does anything useful. :) Other language bindings can be found in the ./bindings directory: flatapi.cpp is a useful extern "C" interface for making bindings easier Kylix bindings (and maybe Delphi bindings) may be found in sword/bindings/clx CORBA (orbit-c++) bindings with Java example classes in /bindings/corba SWIG stuff in bindings/swig Perl stuff in bindings/perl C++Builder developers You may find project files and source for the WIN32 frontend under apps/windows/CBuilder5/BibleCS Delphi developers You will need to place sword32.dll in your winsys directory or elsewhere in your path. You can find source in ./apps/windoze/bcowl25/swordapi or binary at: ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/attic/dlls.tar.gz This is an older build and probably should be regenerated. If you wish to add components to your toolbar, install ./apps/windoze/delphi20/swordvc/swmodule.pas and ./apps/windoze/delphi20/swordvc/swvskey.pas Enjoy!
