Hi there ..... I've been around the Sword project for years. Recently, it was pointed out that the Sword debian packages are all well out of date, and I'm beginning to regret saying that I'd look into it. I've studies the Debian packaging information at: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html and installed all the recommended packages. I've tried to make a package, but it fails with the same error, which is:
dh build
   dh_testdir
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_build
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/barry/prog/sword-1.7.2'
dh_auto_build -Scmake --parallel
dh_auto_build: error: unable to chdir to obj-i686-linux-gnu
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/barry/prog/sword-1.7.2'
make: *** [build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

I get the same error whatever I try. The above is from 'dpkg-buildpackage'. I have tried creating a obj-i686-linux-gnu directory in the sword directory, but it gets removed immediately prior to the error message.

What am I missing?

Regards,        Barry Drake.
