Odd Webstuff

I have a few items that may help some people doing Bible study, and a few links, too.

I've put together a graphical map of the geneology of the thrones of Israel and Judah during 1-2 Kings.

My favorite Bible Study tool is Xiphos. It is available for Linux/FreeBSD/etc and Windows (Xp and higher)! Tell your friends!

Xiphos 3.1.2 and sword 1.6.1 are now available

to build a SUSE 10.3 (or higher) rpm for sword/xiphos,
Make sure to install libicu, libicu-devel, curl, curl-devel (in std dist) and icu (from repo only) along with gnome devel stuff, libMagick++-devel, and the latest mozilla-xulrunner181 and mozilla-xulrunner181-devel (from repo). It's fine to have mozilla-xulrunner190 installed, but you can't have mozilla-xulrunner190-devel installed or it will confuse the config program. Also install gtkhtml2 and gtkhtml2-devel.

Build Sword

Fix the sword.spec and sword.spec.in files
uncomment:
Requires: icu >= 2.6

On an x86_64 architecture, change all instances of /usr/lib to /usr/lib64
for i586:
./usrinst.sh --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-utilities --with-curl --disable-debug --enable-shared --with-conf --with-icu

for x86_64:
./usrinst.sh --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-utilities --with-curl --disable-debug --enable-shared --with-conf --with-icu

./configure
rpmbuild -bb sword.spec

Build Xiphos

Fix the xiphos.spec and xiphos.spec.in files
Requires: gtkhtml2 >= 3.0
BuildRequires: gtkhtml2-devel >= 3.0
BuildRequires: gnome-spell2

./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-exporter
%{prefix}/share/doc/xiphos-3.1.?/*
then run:

rpmbuild -bb xiphos.spec
