| − | Borland has been in the habit of releasing different levels of their
| + | [[Category:SWORD Frontends|BibleCS]] |
| − | tools at different price tiers, and sometimes they have an 'Open' edition
| |
| − | which is free for personal use or opensource development.
| |
| − | Now, I'd personally recommend buying their tools. I use them for all
| |
| − | of my commercial development and they are second to none-- truly built
| |
| − | with the developer in mind.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here are the steps to freely compile the free software freely :)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Download and install Borland's compiler at:
| |
| − | | |
| − | http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,6566,034-49,00.html
| |
| − | <br/>(You'll have to get a Nokia developer username/password for this first step ... not onerous.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Download and Install Tortoise SVN:
| |
| − | | |
| − | http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/download.html
| |
| − | | |
| − | Follow the WinCVS instructions to checkout the source code:
| |
| − | | |
| − | http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/biblecs/svn.jsp
| |
| − | | |
| − | For Windows development, you will need to checkout 3 SVN modules: 'sword',
| |
| − | 'biblecs', & 'icu-sword'. All three should be checked out to checked out to
| |
| − | the same location, so you should end up with sword, biblecs, and icu-sword
| |
| − | directories in that folder.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Download the ICU DLL from here (grab the latest icudt??l.zip file, icudt28l.zip as of April, 2005):
| |
| − | ftp://ftp.crosswire.org/pub/sword/utils/win32/
| |
| − | | |
| − | and place it in the CVS tree at:
| |
| − | | |
| − | sword/apps/windoze/CBuilder6/BibleCS/stage
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then change to the folder:
| |
| − | | |
| − | sword/apps/windoze/CBuilder6/BibleCS/
| |
| − | | |
| − | and double-click on:
| |
| − | | |
| − | swordprj.bpg
| |
| − | | |
| − | From the Borland IDE menu, choose Projects|Build All Projects
| |
| − | | |
| − | And that's it!!!
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | One recommendation: create a directory, \etc at the root of the drive
| |
| − | where you checked out the sword source and place a file sword.conf
| |
| − | containing something like:
| |
| − | | |
| − | [Install]<br> | |
| − | DataPath=d:/Program Files/CrossWire/The SWORD Project/
| |
| − | | |
| − | [also good to set SWORD_PATH ... lda]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | This will let the sword.exe running from the Borland IDE find your SWORD
| |
| − | modules (Bibles, etc.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Have fun!

| |
| − | Note that the Borland C++Builder 6.0 and C++BuilderX tools are not yet officially supported for development of BibleCS software. The project files and project group files are not necessarily kept up-to-date in SVN with the officially supported CBuilder 5.0 .bpr's and .bpg's.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are not an experienced C++Builder user, you will probably want to peruse the sword-devel list carefully, and strongly consider connecting with a _mentor_. There are some Getting.Started oriented projects, as well as the ./tests subdirectory.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Availability of CBuilder 5.0 is _sketchy_. It is not available from Borland anymore. For obtaining ethically, you may try e-Bay (sometimes available, usually about $50 opening bid). Another source is getting a book from your library or World.Cat, hoping the CD is still there, and taking advantage of the 30-day or 60-day trial.

| − | The CBuilder 6.0 personal is also available at polish borland representative site at address http://www.borland.pl/downloads/bcb6_personal/cbuilder_6_personal.exe Do not be afraid, it is not Polish version, just plain English :-) To get this version working You'll need a free personal license from Borland accessible at http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html .<br>
| |
| − | Pleas also be informed that functionality of the personal edition is somewhat limited. The worst thing is that it lacks CodeGuard and Data Breakpoints which makes a memory problems debugging pretty hopeless.

| − | = Compiling with Cygwin =
| |
| − | | |
| − | * ^^Cygwin^^
| |
| − | The [[http://www.cygwin.com][cygwin]] provides the necessary layer ontop of the windows environment emulating API and services necessary to compile from source and run Unix software.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---++ Install
| |
| − | Cygwin should be installed using standard installer available on http://www.cygwin.com. I haven't had time to check which packages are needed for the Sword build - so You'd probably be better off just installing everything (maybe except TeX and games ;-)). As of today the full install requires about
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---+ Sword
| |
| − | Well, everyone knows what The Sword is :-)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---++ Getting sources
| |
| − | The sources should be downloaded using SVN windows client (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org - quite a good choice). The detailed information is available at http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/biblecs/svn.jsp Just a small information, You need only the 'sword' product.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---++ Necessary changes in the source tree
| |
| − | None necessary currently. :-)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---++ Configure
| |
| − | First one needs to get the configure script. To get it You should run the =autogen.sh= from the main Sword directory. Then, the configure script should be invoked 'configure --enable-shared --with-curl --without-clucene'. This command will generate the necessary Makefiles
| |
| − | ---++ Compilation
| |
| − | This is an easy part. Just type =make=, and everything will be compiled (except from the tests)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---++ Installation
| |
| − | "make install"
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---+ Final remark
| |
| − | I've not tested the build with the tests, alhou the tests itself bilds correctly (to do this You need to manually switch to the =tests= directory and write =make= .
| |
| − | | |
| − | I've tested the osis2mod utility, and one 'funny' thing - osis2mod compiled in cygwin environment runs 10 times slower than osis2mod compiled in BCPB 6 (!). Perhaps some optimization flags need to be tweaked, but the speed difference is really enormous...
