[sword-devel] Building 1.5.5 or CVS w/ Debian

[Rob French]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile the source as Debian packages. I've tried both
1.5.5 and CVS. I used the command:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

I get the following error at the end of the config output:

cd bindings/swig &&  ./configure --prefix=/usr \

It -appears- to me that what's happening is that as it's attempting to
configure diatheke, it can't find the sword libs (which makes sense
since they haven't yet been built). I'd really like to build this as
deb's, any thoughts?
