Could someone post a gnomesword-svn or gnomesword pakage?

Could someone post a gnomesword-svn or gnomesword pakage?

I've been trying to build gnomesword-svn from the AUR package, but have not had any luck. Could someone post a successfully built package where I can download it or post a url for a repository that has it in it.

gnomesword-svn  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … 1&ID=11986
gnomesword        http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=7315

Thank you!

What is the error msg? Maybe we can help you solve the build problem?

I was having trouble with M4 macros

Checking for required M4 macros... 
libtool.m4 not found 
glib-gettext.m4 not found 
intltool.m4 not found 
pkg.m4 not found 
***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build gnomesword 
were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden 
macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your 
ACLOCAL_FLAGS? 

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. 
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...

So I checked for the files and they were their, so I added /usr/share/aclocal/ to my $PATH and it got further! But now it can't seam to find SWORD, which I have installed from AUR. Here are the last few lines as it aborts...

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes 
checking for GNOME... yes 
checking for SWORD... no 
Now type `make' to compile gnomesword 
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. 
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...

I get the same errors on both my computers, one a clean install as of last week.
Thanks for any help.

Ok, I was able to get gnomesword-svn to build. I had installed "sword" from AUR. Which installed the binaries.  In order to build gnomesword I needed access to the source. It used "pkg-config" to check for the source, which was not in it's path.

#pkg-config --exists --print-errors sword 
Package sword was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sword.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'sword' found

Once I added  the source path to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that pkg-config could find it worked great.

#PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/root/builds/bibles/sword/src/sword-1.5.9

It worked, and I'm good to go, but out of curiosity, how should this really work using the AUR PKGBUILS's.  The source is only needed to build it.
So would it be another AUR package dependency that would install the source someplace so that pkg-config could find it?
Or would you download the source using gnomesword-svn PKGBUILD and then set the path using the PKGBUILD before building gnomesword?

Thank you.

It is used to read and study the Bible.
I am just now trying it out but I have used many other programs like it.  BibleTime is similar, based on KDE rather than gnome.  The Bible is referred to as a Sword many times, and thus GnomeSword.
