For anyone who likes to cross-build from Linux into Windows (c'mon, I know you all love it...) I have added a pair of toolchain files to the engine which will work with either the MinGW packages I specifically built for SWORD support in Ubuntu or with SuSE's toolchain. It also works building with Xiphos' GLib patch, although that might take an extra command line argument when it searches for GLib. For example, to build the libsword.dll file, this CMake invocation will work when invoked from within the build/ directory:
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/toolchains/Toolchain-mingw64-x86.cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/ -DLIBSWORD_LIBRARY_TYPE="Shared" .. If you are using the Xiphos patch which adds dependency on GLib in order to fix a bug in SWORD's handling of Unicode characters in file paths, add the option -DGlibConfig_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/glib-2.0/include when you invoke CMake under SuSE. It should "just work" under my Ubuntu toolchain as I developed these toolchain files to operate in my toolchain which is largely modeled off the one from SuSE. Fedora also has a similar chain that is modeled on SuSE, but I haven't tested it there. I believe they used a different autotools triple (i686-pc-mingw32 instead of the SuSE/Ubuntu i686-w64-mingw32) last time I used their toolchain but I could be mistaken. If anyone is a die-hard Fedora user and wants to be able to cross-build for Windows, you're welcome to use these files as a foundation to model on and add some other Toolchains. For those of us who are full-time Linux users this can be a little bit of a sanity check to allow us to test building a Windows release and should also make it simpler for "anyone" to make a release of the Windows build of the tools when they get stale. Note, though, if you like building with Ubuntu and opt to use the toolchain I've built, I do include a decently up-to-date version of the SWORD library from SVN in the toolchain already. So if you're a front-end developer wanting to cross build, you don't have to use this to roll your own build. I will happily update the packages to the newest SVN if you need it. Just be forewarned that my build includes the patch from Xiphos and thus includes a glib build-time and run-time dependency. --Greg _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
