[sword-devel] Making module and conf file

[Robert Hunt]

I've had fun with a USFM New Testament, converted it to OSIS using the Perl script and then to a module using osis2mod. So far, so good... However, I can't get Xiphos (on Ubuntu) to recognize either the compressed or uncompressed module when I add a local folder name and then choose it. The Modules Install/Update tab remains totally blank. I suspect my conf file is the problem -- either the placement of it or the contents of it. I'm trying to follow instructions in http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/DevTools:confFiles. 1/ Should the config file be placed in the same folder as the .bz* files? (I can't see that the wiki tells me where to put the file.) 2/ Does the DataPath directive indicate where to *find* the module files (relative to the conf file), or where to *put* them? 3/ Would you expect me be able to navigate in the Xiphos Module Manager to any old local folder where I created my module (like I'm trying to do), or do I manually have to copy my module into .sword/modules/texts/ztext/? 4/ Can you see anything wrong/missing in my skeletal matigsalug.conf file -- this is the one for the compressed module: [Matigsalug] DataPath=.modules/text/ztext/matigsalug/ Description=Matigsalug Scriptures ModDrv=zText CompressType=ZIP BlockType=BOOK Direction=LtoR SourceType=OSIS Encoding=UTF-8 Abbreviation=MBTV Version=0.9 Category=Biblical Texts LCSH=Bible. Lang=mbt 5/ Is there something else I could be doing wrong? I'm sure it's probably something very simple. :-) Thanks, Robert.
