[sword-devel] C# binding difficulty

Discussion:

Hello

I'm a Windows developer moving to Linux. I've downloaded the latest
Sword project
via SVN and have finally gotten everything to build and install per the
INSTALL file
in the main directory.

Moving on to the C# bindings, I've gotten the project to build. When I
run the
LookupExample, I get the following error:

Unhandled Exception:
System.EntryPointNotFoundException: org_crosswire_sword_SWMgr_new
at (wrapper managed-to-native)
Sword.NativeMethods:org_crosswire_sword_SWMgr_new ()
at Sword.Manager..ctor () [0x00008] in
/raid/swordProject/bindings/csharp/Manager.cs:26
at Sword.Tests.LookupExample.Lookup (System.String modName,
System.String key) [0x00001] in
/raid/swordProject/bindings/csharp/examples/LookupExample.cs:33
at Sword.Tests.LookupExample.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00020] in
/raid/swordProject/bindings/csharp/examples/LookupExample.cs:27

Looking at the code, in NativeMethods.cs, it appears to be looking for
'libsword.so'

That library does not exist on my computer. Could some kind soul please
direct me to
how to build that library or where to download it?

Thanks,
Jon

Libsword.so is the compiled binary, so i guess you have it somewhere, but hiding

It also might have a version in its name like "libsword.1.7.3.so" or
"libsword.so.1.7" or something like that.

Hi,
I wrote the c# bindings. If sword is correctly built and installed
there should be a libsword.so. usually this is a sim link to the one
with the version that Greg Hellings has mentioned.

I vaguely remember that the default build doesn't create a .so file
unless you change a setting. Will try and figure it out for you when I
get home from work tonight.

Cheers,
Daniel

Found it - duh. The makefile prints out a configuration. So now I just have
to figure out how to get MonoDevelop to point to it.
It's been 20 years since I messed with make files, so it's a whole new
world.
Thanks to all who replied.
Be blessed,
Jon
