David:
You will have cd to a temporary directory xml2gbs as xml2gbs just puts
its output in the current directory, then copy files from that temporary
directory to your .sword library as below, along with your .conf file.
All three of those files are created simultaneously.
After you copy
Hi David,
As Tom also mentioned, I run the command on linux, in your case, like this:
..\utils64\xml2gbs -fO ..\Import\OSIS\OSIS-lbc1646.fix.xml lbc1646
Windows also can have issues if there are spaces in the path. I don't know
if your full path has any spaces, but you might want to try running f

One last suggestion: Windoze (used to at least) has pretty good file
search capabilities. Search your whole machine for the missing files.

I gave up on Microslop and Windoze years ago. So I am way out of date,
but even several years ago, Windoze would, for security reasons, restore
changed system files and delete foreign files unless certain settings

I think you got hit
I have just used xml2gbs to create a Generic book module for the first time.
It created a module file with extension .bdt in the right location.
All Generic book modules I've installed from CrossWire also have two more files
in the module folder.
One with extension .dat and one with .idx

These two wiki pages are almost identical.
https://wiki.crosswire.org/GenBook_and_OpenOffice

One of them should probably be deleted, but I don't know which one.
Please advise.
Best regards,

I will remind you
1) Windows builds of the utilities are not officially supported at all
2) Builds of the utilities from any source other than SVN trunk are not
supported at all
This problem falls into both categories and is, therefore, not a supported
situation that is likely to garner any atten
It's apparent that the .dat and .idx files are needed for the module to
function aright.
When I tried to open the new module in Xiphos, nothing was displayed.
So please would someone explain how I can make these two files so that my new
module will work correctly.
Best regards,

Thanks Tom,
The module name is [LBC1646] (as specified in my .conf file), and that points
to the right module path.
This was the command in my CMD file, all of which are stored in a folder called
Make under my Sword path.
..\utils64\xml2gbs -fO ..\Import\OSIS\OSIS-lbc1646.fix.xml

Don't hold your breath. None of the developers of the utilities are Windows
users, nor do they support running an unsupported version of the
I followed Timmy's sensible suggestion, which was something I'd pondered myself
already.
Now here's what I observed.
Files lbc1646.dat and lbc1646.idx appeared momentarily in the Make folder, but
simply vanished when lbc1646.bdt finished being created.
Does anyone have a plausible explanation
If I watch the folder for the full datapath while I'm running the original
command, the same thing happens!
They appear and vanish

Well, yes, a sensible last resort - but the result was no match found!

Be that as it may, it would be helpful if someone could go the extra mile
beyond the call of duty.
As it is, I have no means to test a new GenBook module until it’s been put in
CrossWire Beta by Dom.
Kind regards,

I think the answer to both questions is "Yes", but it would be helpful if the
usage help could be expanded to state this more explicitly.
I assume that the usage help is the same under Linux as it is under Windows.

Well I guess there's at least one Windows 10 user on this mailing list, so it
would be useful to know whether the same issue occurs on that supported
operating system, even if one accepts that Windows 7 is past its official end

The only AV that I use is Windows Security Essentials.
This has never caused me any issues with other Sword utilities, so I doubt it
could be the culprit for xml2gbs. There's nothing in its quarantine storage.
