Re: [sword-devel] Sword Library on Windows Without Requiring Cygwin

2009-01-08 Thread Greg Hellings
It's all in how the gcc linker for cygwin works. Just pass it the option -mnocygwin (or something similar, like -mno-cygwin) and it won't require the cygwin.dll anymore. If that's not exact, just search online for it or through the man pages. I did the same thing for a while. --Greg On Thu, Ja

[sword-devel] Sword Library on Windows Without Requiring Cygwin

2009-01-08 Thread Jeremy Erickson
Hi, For BibleMemorizer, I am attempting to create Windows binaries. I would like to have a working Windows binary of Sword. However, the only build I was successful in creating was using Cygwin, in which case I get undefined reference errors if I don't link with the Cygwin DLL. I tri

I'm mostly happy with everything that's been implemented & suggested. There are only a couple of things I might do differently (probably based on my own behavior on the wiki combined with our universal hatred of actually facing captchas): DM Smith wrote: 5) Adding an external URL to a page. (L

As for spelling, and as a fascinating learning experience, pick up your printed KJV Bible and examine the spelling of the word "ankle[s]" in Ezekiel 47:3 and Acts 3:7. Some editions have "ancle", others have "ankle". Ostensibly both streams are based on the Authorised Version of 1769. So Peter'

If I understand you right, this makes sense. I was thinking of this earlier in the discussion, but the fog of dengue fever has kept me from responding. As someone who frequently uses different languages in parallel, I feel that exact correspondence of verse to verse would be nice but not neces
