Hi,
For BibleMemorizer, I am attempting to create Windows binaries. I
would like
to have a working Windows binary of Sword. However, the only build I was
successful in creating was using Cygwin, in which case I get undefined
reference errors if I don't link with the Cygwin DLL. I tried
using --host=i686-pc-mingw32, but it didn't make a difference. I also tried
building against straight MinGW with MSYS, but for some reason almost
everything I do in MSYS results in sh.exe segfaulting, which means something
is wrong with my install, even though I followed the instructions on the
MinGW site.
It might actually be easiest if someone has a pre-built .a library for
Sword.
Otherwise, is there something I'm missing in ./configure in order for it to
build a non-Cygwin dependent binary? Or are there better/easier instructions
for setting up MSYS than http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys ? I found that
process quite cumbersome, and the resulting setup simply doesn't work. (I
failed to compile autoconf with the same problems Sword gave me.)
I have never really compiled anything on Windows not using Visual
Studio,
unless I was using Cygwin and didn't care if it linked the DLL. (The vast
majority of my experience is on Linux, and the rest on Mac OS X which is
similar.) However, for distribution, I would prefer not to have to link it.
Also, where does the Windows version of Sword look for modules by
default?
