My goal was to see if I could use Eclipse as a substitute for Borland. Eclipse is a premier IDE (so much better than JBuilder [just teasing Troy!]) for Java that is open source. So I wanted to see if its C++ support was good enough. It can use either Cygwin or MinGW to provide GCC/GDB. I was looking for a solution that could avoid the command line. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about C++ cross platform makefiles to know whether it even makes sense. It appears that the whole configure thing to generate a Makefile is way too complicated given the defines that Sword actually uses. But it looks like it is the standard way for the C++ community.DM Smith wrote:
I was able to get Sword API to compile under Cygwin, but it did not build a dll, rather a sa (if I remember).
The makefile isn't intended to build a dll - the libsword.la that is produced is a static library archive. It is simply a bundle of all the .o (object) files. You can use ar to extract them if you want. I haven't built the Sword library as a dll, but I would imagine Borland Builder 6 would be an easier way of doing that. Alternatively, Dev-C++ has a facility for making dll's that might be easier to use than the command line utilities.
