[sword-devel] Compiling SWORD API using MinGW

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Chris,

I used MinGW to build the swordweb for win32 package on the FTP server. 
  I had to install a ton of packages.  It took me forever to get 
everything I needed.  I still don't think I got ICU working, so if you 
got ICU compiled, maybe we could swap secrets.  I'll upload my MinGW 
environment which builds sword.  Look for it soon at /pub/sword/mingw/
