[bt-devel] sword iso

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Well, I've asked.  Our CD will not be complete without a BibleTime 
installer in the setup.  I wish someone would step up and do this. 
Otherwise I might have to spend my time doing this.

I don't mean to argue this point.  We have already committed to a user 
friendly setup program on the CD.  We've always had one, and it's always 
worked nicely.  I'm just asking for your team to participate with your 
piece to take some load off of me.

If KDE is so convoluted to install to, then maybe you will need custom 
scripts to install.  Picking the correct package depending on the system 
should be an easy script to write.

I'm still convinced that the provided setup functionality will work.  A 
KDE app has to be able to determine WHERE docs are located, and WHERE 
icons are located.

OK, just started up KDE3 on my rh7.3 system.  You can determine install 
paths with kde-config --types

Here is a script to set $KDEDIR and $KDEDOCS for KDE3.  I'll make the 
setup run this script to preset the variables then you can make 
bibletimebase.tar.gz and bibledocs.tar.gz.  Let me know if you need more 
help.

KDEDIR=`kde-config --prefix`
echo \$KDEDIR=$KDEDIR
KDEDIRsedsafe=`echo $KDEDIR|sed s/[/]/\\\\\\\\\\\//`
KDEDOCS=`kde-config --install html|sed s/\$\{prefix\}/$KDEDIRsedsafe/`
echo \$KDEDOCS=$KDEDOCS
