INSTALLATION NOTES
QUICKSTART
Try:
./usrinst.sh
make
su
make install
If you have never installed sword before and/or are happy with a default
configuration, you may wish to type:
make install_config
for a basic configuration. WARNING: THIS WILL OVERWRITE AN EXISTING
CONFIGURATION. It is OK to rerun this if you have not changed any
parameters in /etc/sword.conf
If the above steps do not work, or if you're particular about your
configuration, please read on.
BUILD CONFIGURATION
What most people consider 'normal' user install options are saved in
a script 'usrinst.sh', which you may run with the command './usrinst.sh'.
You may want to have a look at the configuration options by typing
./configure --help and also looking at what we consider 'normal'
usage parameters by looking inside usrinst.sh
to be sure everything is being built the way that you would like.
BUILDING
A 'make' at the top level directory of the SWORD package should build the
libraries necessary for building any of the frontends. The libraries will
be built in the ./lib directory.
After the libraries are built, one will probably wish to 'su' to root and
'make install' to install the libraries systemwide. One then may proceed to
write and compile SWORD applications.
MODULES
To be useful the software needs to find SWORD 'modules' installed somewhere
accessible. These module plugins consist of Bible texts, commentaries,
dictionaries, and the like. New plugins are constantly being added. They
may be obtained from:
http://www.crosswire.org or various mirrors.
In a default SWORD configuration, the module install process may look like this:
[download a module with your favourite client]
su
cd /usr/share/sword
unzip ~/KJV.zip
There is also an over-the-net install utility located at utilities/installmgr
After modules are installed, you can create fast search indecies (if you have
compiled with clucene support), with utilities/mkfastmod
NOTE: sometimes clucene forgets to install some header files. You might need to
manually copy clucene-core-X/src/CLucene/clucene-config.h to your install prefix
(e.g. /usr/local/include/CLucene/)
If you want module configuration/installation details, read on...
A directory named 'mods.d' contains all configuration information regarding
the installed modules available to the API. The format of a config file is
fairly straight-forward, and most modules come with their own .conf file,
of which the contents may be placed in the mods.d directory.
MODULE INSTALLATION SCHEME
For a recommended module configuration scheme
On UN*X: create /etc/sword.conf with contents:
[Install]
DataPath=/usr/share/sword
and unzip your modules to /usr/share/sword
(or type: make install_config which should do the same)
Windows users can simply unzip their modules where they installed their frontend.
Otherwise, read on:
DETAILS
The API attempts to hunts down its primary module configuration in the
following sequence, stopping at the first successful step:
o) ./sword.conf in the format:
[Install]
DataPath=/where/your/modules/are/installed
then the API will look for <DataPath>/mods.d/
o) ./mods.d
o) ../library/mods.d (don't ask)
o) $SWORD_PATH/mods.d
o) $HOME/.sword/sword.conf in the format:
[Install]
DataPath=/where/your/modules/are/installed
then the API will look for <DataPath>/mods.d/
o) /etc/sword.conf in the format:
[Install]
DataPath=/where/your/modules/are/installed
then the API will look for <DataPath>/mods.d/
o) $HOME/.sword/mods.d/
In addition to the 'primary module configuration', SWORD will also
include modules found in $HOME/.sword/mods.d/
Also, when a sword.conf file is used, any number of:
AugmentDataPath=/where/more/modules/are/installed
entries may be included. These are useful to tell sword to scan,
for example, CDROM, MMC, or other removable media locations.
LOCALE
If you would like to include support for localization, you may copy the
locales.d directory and any of the locale files contained therein into
the directory where your mods.d exists
(eg. to /usr/share/sword/locales.d/)
but this is done with a 'normal' sword install.
ENJOY!!!
