Brian, You might benefit from my experience, limited as it is. I have a windows dev box with the free version of MSVS installed. I tried following wiki instructions at http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Tutorial:Compiling_%26_Installing_SWORD_on_Windows but got stuck. I don't know why. It looked like a

Versification mapping sounds very useful. Is there any agreement/design/plan for what it would actually entail? >From my uninformed perspective, it seems like there could be lots of ambiguity or disagreement about the "use cases" and priorities especially if there needed to be a staged implementati

[sword-devel] Likely miss in Arabic vowel point filter.

2011-12-15 Thread Paul A. Martel
While looking at the source code (for no really good reason) I happened to run into the following test in the Arabic Vowel Points filter if (((*from == 0xFC) && (*(from + 1) >= 0xE5 && *(from + 1) <= 0x63)) || ... Unless I'm reading this wrong, this clause is impossible to satisfy. So it effe

Thanks, Greg. For the record, there was nothing so obvious as a "libcurl-dev" package listed in the package manager. The actual package that seems to have worked for me was "libcurl4-gnutls-dev". Other listed packages that I didn't try but that might have worked as alternatives (?) were "libcurl4-

Re: [sword-devel] Couple of problems with windows build tutorial.

2011-09-28 Thread Paul A. Martel
I found the solution to one of my problems with the windows build. As of curl 7.22, the curl/types.h header no longer exists. Since something like curl 7.12 or so (circa April 2004), it has just been an empty file, kept, I suspect, for backward compatibility, so maybe it's time that the libsword mo

As a newcomer to the xulsword project, I've been looking at this code quite recently with an eye towards sorting out the various platform and library dependencies. My intent is to do a linux build of xulsword. If I could get some code pointers to the unicode solutions built into sword, like im
