[sword-devel] BibleTime 1.7.beta1 is released - please create binary packages

[Greg Hellings]

Martin,

I have successfully built bibletime under Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 version.
However, upon trying to run the executable, I am greeted with the
following lovely message:

hellings1 at ubuntu-desktop:~/Public/bibletime-1.7.beta1.build$ ./bibletime
(BibleTime 1.7.beta1) WARNING: Cannot find icon directory relative to
"/home/hellings1/Public/bibletime-1.7.beta1.build"
terminate called without an active exception
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = bibletime path = <unknown> pid = 11112
sock_file=/home/hellings1/.kde4/socket-ubuntu-desktop/kdeinit4__0
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.
KCrash failed to exec(), errno = 2


I have tried running "make install" but that doesn't seem to do much:
hellings1 at ubuntu-desktop:~/Public/bibletime-1.7.beta1.build$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for hellings1:
[100%] Built target bibletime
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "RelWithDebInfo"

I also must say, the install/build dependencies are extremely steep.
I already have a very hefty system from doing lots of other builds and
development, and I was required to install about 2 GB of packages,
etc, to build Bibletime.  I sure hope you can get away from the KDE4
dependency soon.  In addition to that I needed Qt4.4, clucene and
boost.
