pkgbuild for libsword, bibletime or gnomesword ?

Hello there all Arch developers,
i have been an Arch fan and used it exclusively for the last 4 months. Great Job ! i am missing one application from ye ole Debian days though. Its a bible study program. There are two actually, bibletime for kde and gnomesword for gnome. both depend on the libsword libraries. i have found one reference to this software on the forums, with a pkgbuild, but i havn't gotten it to work. Please let me know if there is one out there, or if it can be easily done.
thanks,

tgc

Hi!

It is quite easy to make PKGBUILDs for those packages, here two that works for me:

sword:

pkgname=sword
pkgver=1.5.7a
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The SWORD Engine is a software framework that allows research manipulation of Biblical texts."
url="http://www.crosswire.org/sword/"
source=(http://www.crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/source/v1.5/sword-$pkgver.tar.gz)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-1.5.7
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

gnomesword:

pkgname=gnomesword
pkgver=2.1.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GnomeSword for Gnome 2"
depends=(sword)
url="http://gnomesword.sf.net/"
source=(http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make all || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

It's probably just as easy for BibelTime. Enjoy :-)

Re: pkgbuild for libsword, bibletime or gnomesword ?

hey thanks a lot.
both packages installed without a hitch.
since i am a gnome/fluxbox fan, i don't really need kde all that much.
so thanks, this works out really well.
