There is a page here: http://crosswire.org/wiki/Gnomesword_for_Windows#Compiling_Sword I wrote most of this when I initially compiled GnomeSword (now Xiphos) for Windows. At the time, I knew nothing about autotools or msys or MinGW (or a lot of other things). Therefore, the page currently is more of a historical guide than anything that I'd really recommend to be followed. I am currently working on creating a better methodology for setting up MSYS/MinGW and compiling Xiphos (and its dependencies, including SWORD). Once this is set up, I will write better documentation, and also attempt to solve some of the last nagging autotools issues. Also, there might be some interest in using cmake or some other build system, which would probably be quite a bit easier and more reliable to use than autotools on Windows.
