Hello, Here's what I did to compile the python bindings for sword for the 1.5.9 release version of sword. This was on ArchLinux (www.archlinux.org).
Upgrade to swig 1.3.31 or higher which supports python 2.5. This resolves a compilation error caused by a const char*/char* mismatch. tar xzvf sword-1.5.9.tar.gz >From the Sword base directory where the .tar.gz file was extracted: cd bindings/swig/package Edit configure.ac and correct the Sword version number in three places. AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and the variable SW_CHECK_SWORD refers to the lowest supported version of the Sword libraries. Bump it to 1.5.9. Add libtoolize to the start of autogen.sh to resolve ./ltmain.sh not found ./autogen.sh ./configure make pythonswig (required to generate Sword.cxx) make chmod +x python/setup.py cd python; sudo ./setup.py install Regards Dale _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
