First, to the developers: God bless you for the work you've done on Sword. It's pretty wonderful to be able fire up BibleTime in WindowMaker.
Second, I'm trying to understand how to make modules out of theological texts marked up in OSIS. The instructions at <http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/index.jsp> seem to be a bit out of sync with the utilities provided in the current distribution. As a test, I downloaded the OSIS file containing Augustine's "Sermon on the Mount; Harmony of the Gospels; Homilies on the Gospels" and ran the osis2mod utility against it. It seems to assume Scripture as input, because it produced four files: nt, nt.vss, ot, and ot.vss. nt and ot are empty, the .vss files contain binary data. How should I handle input texts that don't fall naturally into OT & NT? Third, is there any documentation of the target format for the modules? I'm curious as to what features it supports. I'm interested in manually adding markup for internal links from e.g. a TOC to chapters & sections listed in the TOC. Fourth, I tried to build sword-1.5.7 on my Debian box, and it seems to have choked on installmgr: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../include -DUSE_AUTOTOOLS -DUNIX -DGLOBCONFPATH=\"/opt/local/sword-1.5.7/etc/sword.conf\" -g -O2 -ftemplate-depth-25 -DCURLAVAILABLE -DUSELUCENE -MT installmgr.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/installmgr.Tpo -c ../src/mgr/installmgr.cpp -fPIC -DPIC ../src/mgr/installmgr.cpp: In member function `char sword::InstallMgr::FTPURLGetFile(void*, const char*, const char*)': ../src/mgr/installmgr.cpp:153: error: `TRUE' undeclared (first use this function) ../src/mgr/installmgr.cpp:153: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [installmgr.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/cbearden/apps/sword-1.5.7/lib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cbearden/apps/sword-1.5.7' make: *** [all] Error 2 'configure' was only invoked with the '--prefix' argument (didn't want to conflict with the Debian package), after which I typed 'make'. I'm running Sarge, and I think I have just about everything one would need to build most things. I don't know C or C++, so I'm not sure of the significance of this error. Again, thanks for all your hard work!
