I just wanted to summarize the issues that I ran into while compiling the sword library on Solaris (althoug I was a mostly GNU environment.) Much thanks to Brady Morgan for the suggestions.
1) The lelong and leshort function in zverse.cpp needs and additional: #include <sys/pctypes.h> 2) "make install" has a problem with the following line in include/Makefile.org headers += $$(ls *.h) install -o vhdllib -g vhdllib -m a+r,u+rw $(ls *.h) /home/vhdllib/jacob/gnu/include/sword/ /bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected make[1]: *** [just-install] Error 2 The following seemed to work for me: headers += $(wildcard *.h) 3) After installation the following message is given: sword is installed type "make install_config" to install a basic configuration Type "make register" to help us keep track of how many people have seen it. Typing make install_config actually tries to modify /etc/sword.conf although my prefix in the Makefile.cfg is different. Maybe the tool wouldn't look anywhere else other than /etc/ for global settings(?) In Christ, Jacob
