[sword-devel] SWORD 1.7.0 final stretch

[Greg Hellings]

So I was trying to solve both the "Perl won't install" and the "Python
installs to the wrong place" issues. I committed a fix to the Python
install (it was previously only installing to /usr/local regardless of the
value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) but this fix appears to have magically
caused Perl to begin installing on my machine.

Peter, can you try and do a new install from the latest versions of SVN
HEAD?

Perl is still only installing to /usr/local regardless of where I set
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, but I imagine that fix is low priority at the moment
as the bindings are not presently packaged by any distributions I am aware
of.

I would invite distribution maintainers to begin packaging the Python and
Perl bindings starting with 1.7.0. I have done lots to clean them up,
suppress warnings, and resolve build failures. Packaging the Python
bindings would permit packaging of BPBible as well, and also help with
keeping the various build options I've created for the bindings clean and
tested.
