Bibletime

Forum thread started by bromichaelhenry on Fri, 2013-02-22 07:12

I'm trying to port Bibletime to Haiku. Before I begin, I have to port the sword engine. I followed the instructions on crosswire website ( www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordapi/ ). I get errors when I try to run make. Willing to post more if someone wants to help.

Thanks.

Don't ask to ask just ask! Anyway I am sure many people would enjoy having Bibletime.

Also see this http://www.scripture-guide.org/ it already works on Haiku.

I would love to run Scripture Guide except it has some GUI bugs and the Book Manager doesn't work at all. Trying to recompile it results in a vector.h file not found and I don't think that's a Sword include file.

As for BT, is there a way to pipe the output to a file so I can post it?

Hi bromichaelhenry,

i like your attemp to bring sword library to haiku.

I would suggest that you try to join in the team / the Project of scricpture guide on sourceforge.

They are really experienced developers (darkwym was long time a core developer for Haiku and jan_64 developed the yab basic programming language)
I am shure they will help you if the times allows it.

Also to bring the Sword Libraray to Haiku would maybe motivate me to start again haiku development...

So if no one answers your request... just contact me and we start over with the foundation of scripture guid :)

A few years back when I was running Zeta, Jan said no more updates to Scripture Guide. While I love BibleTime, I would love even more for Scripture Guide to be updated. For instance, Darkwymn and Jan was going to use netpositive to display. I would love to see it use webpositive.

As for Sword/Bibletime, I'm having issues with clucene. Also, the build instructions are horribly wrong according to the mailing lists. So, I'm focusing on getting the sword library to build. Most problems look like they are in the make files.

I'm not much of a developer, just computer nerd, associate pastor who REALLY wants to use Haiku full time, and this is my last hold out.

My email is bromichaelhenry at gmail.com.

OK here we go:

The first Scripture Guid compiled on Haiku.
Pls all who are intrested download it and test it.
Pls give me Feedback.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2001933/Scripture%20Guide.zip

Next Step for me is to look at the Module Manager... if this will take more time because i dont have any internet acces on my haiku machine at the moment.

But with installing the modules buy hand it should work

I already asked for access at sourforge for scripture guide but they didnt responded jet... so we will ee maybe we need to start a new project out of it.

God bless you all

btw: bromichaelhenry to pipe the output to a file you just need to do
command >> file.txt
