Ok. So now I have all that figured out. It seems that
running
"diatheke" doesn't work, but "./diatheke" works fine.
Does this seem odd to anyone but me?
I also created a working C++ tool in Project Builder for the
"lookup" application.
Need to reference the include/ folder.
Also add lib/.libs/libsword.a to the project (made a copy from
the hidden directory).
Need to run "ranlib libsword.a" to set up the symbol TOC in the library before it will compile.

Linker option -lz seems to link in some standard zlib library -
can add this in as a linker option or can add /usr/lib/libz.dylib to
the project (which is in a hidden folder, just type /usr/lib in the Go
to box).
Can move mods.d and modules under the build folder or just do a
setenv on the command line:
setenv SWORD_PATH ~/development/sword/
which sets the environment only for that command line. But can then do a command like:
which sets the environment only for that command line. But can then do a command like:
./lookup KJV "rev 10:1"
Instead you can add to the projects Executables, Env Vars tab.
But need to do full path to the modules instead of user-folder
relative. Can also set the args and Run - and it works!

Now for the challenging part. How to call the C++ based Sword API
from Objective-C? Still just as a simple command line app called
lookup. I really have no idea how to get this to work.
Once past this, I don't think there will be too much difficulty
in doing a Mac OS X front-end with Cocoa. It'll just take some time.
I've been reading "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" by Aaron
Hillegass (very good book), and you can do a lot of stuff fairly
easily in Cocoa. I'm not quite done the book yet, but unfortunately it
doesn't cover such advanced topics as mixing C++ with
Objective-C.
