Chris.
I threw the canon_lxxe.h file in ./src/sword/include/
Edited ./src/sword/src/mgr/versemgr.cpp
Added:
#include <canon_lxxe.h> // LXXE v11n system
and;
systemVerseMgr->registerVersificationSystem("LXXE", otbooks_lxxe,
ntbooks, vm_lxxe);
recompiled and voila!
-v <v11n> specify a versification scheme to use (default is KJV)
Note: The following are valid values for v11n:
Catholic
German
KJV
KJVA
LXXE <-- NOW HERE
Leningrad
Luther
MT
NRSV
NRSVA
Synodal
Vulg
The versification shows and up, but I still get errors when I make my
module. Specifically:
when is use it with "osis2mod -v LXXE" I get
Error reading ulBuffNum
Error reading ulBuffNum
The var ulBuffNum shows up only in src/modules/common/zverse.cpp in:
zVerse::findoffset - Finds the offset of the key verse from the indexes
Have I missed setting a value somewhere (uIBuffNum) that defines
offsets? Any recommendations how I can fix this?
