Be sure to read INSTALL for information on how to get the software
built, configured, and running properly.

UNIX DEVELOPERS
You can try a './configure' (or optionally './usrinst.sh'
for a useful development options configuration), then 'make' from
this directory. This should compile everthing needed. You may type
'./configure --help' to see a list of options.
If all compiles fine, a 'make install' (as root, probably) will
install libs to your system and you may begin using the library.
There are a few basic tests (tests/), start of a test suite
(tests/testsuite/), utilities (utilities/), and examples
(examples/), in the tree.

To install modules, have a look at utilities/installmgr

For some basic lookup and search utilities, see
examples/cmdline/search
examples/cmdline/lookup
utilities/diatheke/

If you are an end user looking for a nice SWORD, graphical Bible study
software suite, then you'll probably want to download one of the
many nice frontends found at

http://crosswire.org/applications.jsp

./buildtest.cpp compiles to the executable 'buildtest' as a test to
see if the libs have compiled and can be linked against successfully.
This is NOT the final target of the build, nor does anything useful.
:)

CMAKE
Alternatively, you can try building with CMake. CMake is an alternative
make system for muliple platforms. You might have a great experience
using the CMake build system. See:
cmake/README for more information

LANGUAGE BINDINGS
Other language bindings can be found in the ./bindings directory:
flatapi.cpp is a useful extern "C" interface for making bindings easier.
Kylix bindings (and maybe Delphi bindings) may be found in sword/bindings/clx
CORBA (orbit-c++) bindings with Java example classes in /bindings/corba
Perl stuff in bindings/perl
SWIG stuff (Python, Perl) in bindings/swig

C++BUILDER DEVELOPERS
You may find project files under lib/bcppmake

VC DEVELOPERS
You may find project files under lib/vcppmake

DELPHI DEVELOPERS
You will need to place sword32.dll in your winsys
directory or elsewhere in your path. You can find source to
build the dll using ./bindings/flatapi.cpp
or a binary at: ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/utils/win32/bcdlls.zip
header file is include/SwordAPI.pas
CLX components can be found under bindings/clx/

.NET DEVELOPERS
Have a look in bindings/swig/vstudio/
Binaries may be found at: ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/utils/win32/vcdlls.zip

Enjoy!
