Sword And Biblestudy For Rc12

[cs_jacky]

Hi,

To make your binary smaller in size, just strip them with the command "armv5tel-cacko-linux-strip".

Yes, bibestudy seems to be dead for a long time. However, I can't find any candidate which has fewer dependency on other libraries. That's why I use biblestudy.

For the location of your library in Cross SDK, you should put it under "/opt/cross/arm/3.4.4-xscale-softvfp/armv5tel-cacko-linux".

EDIT: Anyone else can install this biblestudy build and run successfully?

Your new version here works for me. Had to install libtiff and libcurl, but never got a segfault.

I still have the old one installed too, but it appears to just be a binary.

I'm not sure if it is any faster, but at least it works with the latest RC12 stuff.

I am working on trying to compile myself, just to see what error I am getting, but yours seems to work just fine.

Biblestudy seems kind of old. No recent updates. I tried compiling Bible Time, but it fails saying it needs KDE headers.

EDIT:
Ok, I made the compile work. I had compiled the sword libraries, but not put them where the biblestudy compile could find them. I am really not sure where I should put them. I made it work, but it was a hack. Where is it that I should put the libraries within the Cross SDK? I tried a few places, but it always just seemed to want to see them in the /usr/lib directory.

I am learning about this XWindows thing. It seems there are just GUI programs, and then there are KDE and GNOME programs. I guess we can make anything that isn't KDE or GNOME work on pdaXrom, but if it is KDE or GNOME, then it won't work? Am I making sense?

This is all new to me, as I am used to just installing a Linux distro, and everything works, and I can compile anything I want to, but 99.9% of what most programs need/want to compile is already in the distro.

EDIT2:
I realized that since it uses wxwidgets, I know enough about writing C++ that I can customize Biblestudy to do what I want (open the windows I want at startup, etc.) which is very cool.

QUESTION: Why is my compiled binary 2.5 megs while yours is about 600K? Mine works, but it seems odd that it is SO HUGE, and I wonder if it is slower, though it doesn't seem to be.

Thanks for all your help. As you can tell, there is a lot I don't know about compiling software for Linux. I've been lucky enough to just have things work on the desktop for me.

No, I am getting segfaults as well. I saw it required libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0 already so I installed wxwidgets 2.6.
What is your Zaurus model, did you compile with  iwmmxt extensions?

You need to install "sword-modules" from unstable feed. This module contains SWORD modules necessary for biblestudy to start without crash.  I upgraded my Zaurus to RC12 and biblestudy works fine.

I recompiled sword to remove the dependency on libcurl. I will upload the new sword and biblestudy ipk to unstable feed later. I will post a message in this thread after the upload.

My Zaurus is a c860.

The updated ipk is attached. I failed to delete the old ipk and upload them to unstable feed.
