Thank you for this email. I finally got the Windows version compiled and linked with BCB6 after downloading both Sword and icu-sword from CVS. If possible, please update your instruction in the website as you wrote in this email. Also, please make standalone executable versions of Osis2mod and thml2mod so that people who are not good in C++ can convert module to OSIS and take advantahe of its features.
Thanks and God bless. Paul -----Original Message----- From: Troy A.

Borland has been in the habbit of releasing different levels of their tools at different price tiers, and sometimes they have a 'Personal' or 'Open' edition which is free for personal use or opensource development. Now, I'd personally recommend buying their tools. I use them for all of my commercial development and they are second to none-- truely built with the developer in mind. We have just made sure that BibleCS (Windows version of SWORD) builds with Borland's Personal edition of their compiler. Thanks to David Trotz, Jr. and Daniel Glassey for the work in the past on the Version 6 Project files. I have personally confirmed they now work correctly with the compiler from a clean checkout of sword. So, we're seeking Windows developers; no excuses now! Here are the steps to freely compile our free software freely :) Download and install Borland's compiler at: http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/1,6566,030,00.html?fsrParam=2-3-/main/1, 6566,030,00.html&fileID=2879 You'll have to get a Nokia developer username/password for this first step Download and Install WinCVS: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cvsgui/WinCvs13b13.zip?download Follow the WinCVS instructions to checkout the source code: http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/biblecs/cvs.jsp FOR WINDOWS DEVELOPMENT, YOU'LL NEED TO CHECKOUT 2 CVS MODULES: 'sword' and 'icu-sword' (the instructions just say to checkout 'sword') Both modules should be checked out to the same location, so you should end up with both sword and icu-sword directories in that folder. Download the ICU DLL ftp://ftp.crosswire.org/pub/sword/utils/win32/swicu20.dll and place it in the CVS tree at: sword/apps/windoze/CBuilder6/BibleCS/stage Then change to the folder: sword/apps/windoze/CBuilder6/BibleCS/ and double-click on: swordprj.bpg From the Borland IDE menu, choose Projects|Build All Projects And that's it!!! One recommendation: create a directory, \etc at the root of the drive where you checked out the sword source and place a file sword.conf containing something like: [Install] DataPath=d:/Program Files/CrossWire/The SWORD Project/ This will let the sword.exe running from the Borland IDE find your SWORD modules (Bibles, etc.) Have fun! -Troy. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel ----------------------------------------- *****************Internet Email Confidentiality Footer****************** Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
