Hi all,
I've been having trouble building libsword.dll for windows.
I've followed the information here:
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Tutorial:Compiling_%26_Installing_SWORD_on_Windows
Finally figured out (searching the sword-devel archives) that all I needed to
do was rename icu to icu-sword and similarly rename the curl output dir to what
MSVS was expecting and I was able to build the solution.
However: I can't seem to link against the libsword.dll/libsword.lib.
The only way I have been able to successfully build my project with libsword is
by adding objects.a (generated by cross-compiling libsword on linux using mxe)
to the list of sources which effectively copies all the objects in.
This is what I get at compile time when I link against libsword.dll
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x41): undefined reference to
`sword::MarkupFilterMgr::MarkupFilterMgr(char, char)'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x5c): undefined reference to
`sword::SWMgr::SWMgr(sword::SWFilterMgr*, bool)'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x95): undefined reference to
`sword::SWKey::SWKey(char const*)'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0xb5): undefined reference to
`sword::SWKey::~SWKey()'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0xdd): undefined reference to
`sword::SWModule::renderText(char const*, int, bool)'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x10b): undefined reference to
`sword::SWMgr::~SWMgr()'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x129): undefined reference to
`sword::SWKey::~SWKey()'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text+0x13a): undefined reference to
`sword::SWMgr::~SWMgr()'
agents\sword\sword.o:sword.cpp:(.text$_ZN5sword5SWBufD1Ev[__ZN5sword5SWBufD1Ev]+0xfffffe6c):
undefined reference to `sword::SWBuf::nullStr'
These compile time errors disappear when I add objects.a to the list of sources
AND there are no run-time errors either (despite neither linking against icu).
I have no idea whats going on. Perhaps it's because I build libsword.dll with
MS Visual Studio and am trying to link it with MinGW's g++...
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it!

Sorry to bother you yet again...
I filled out some form
http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel and was directed to
send an e-mail to sword-support to verify I am not a robot.
My question is when my e-mail and password will be active on sword-devel. I
just tried it now and was rejected.
I'm aware this all takes time - I'm not in a rush - just checking that I've
actually completed all the steps to subscribe.
Cheers,

Daniel, i think you should subscribe to sword-devel. Sword support is more
about people not being
able to understand the programms they downloaded etc. I am sure your
problem has been discussed
several times on that list.
Biblecs might be a VS programme, but most others use msys which is a pared

Yeah, I've stumbled accross MSYS which appears to a particular build
environment on
windows?
In regards to my linking issuse, the latest news is that I have managed to
link against the
libsword.dll.a and, because of the run time errors, tracked the undefined
references down to
the icu*54.dlls. I'll try recompiling them (I also downloaded pre-compiled
ones for icu too -
dunno if I've tried those).
I don't know why, but when I use libsword.a instead of libsword.dll.a, I
get neither compile
time nor run time errors. Then again, I haven't tried actually calling the
sword functions yet
in my windows port - just wanted it to compile first!
Atm, I'm reading up about all these forms of library files. I think that
will help me figure
out what is going on.
Cheers,
Daniel

eventually building all the dependancies except clucene which eludes
all attempts
at building on windows. I attempted compiling without clucene and
appeared to get
errors that didn't relate to clucene anyhow and couldn't progress
any further.

my main question is why I can't simply build using MS Visual Studio?
There seems
to be a problem with MS Visual Studio 2013 as I've encountered even
errors such as
"can not find stdio.h/stdlib.h" when generating the clucene solution
with cmake.
The solution file for SWORD also doesn't build. I'm most likely
noobing something
here though because I never develop on windows before - other than
"hello world"
type stuff. And now I know why!
