Mageia forum

Can you help me with installing BibleTime software? Thanks.

I'm just guessing here that you mean the software that can be found here: http://www.bibletime.info/
If that's the case, then you need to compile the software from source, because no build has been provided for Mageia.
Have you ever built a program from source? Because this one is not going to be easy.
Just glancing at the dependencies I can see that you are going to have trouble.
SWORD is not packaged for Mageia, and I ran into problems with a different program that uses clucene.
I think that your best bet would be to submit a package request bug report.

Thank you for reply.
Yes this is the right program - http://www.bibletime.info/.
No I haven't build RPM packaged.
I tried rebuild sword-1.6.1-3.src.rpm but missed clucene-core-devel in repository.
I can use also another type of bible software (for example Xiphos) but I cannot find it in repository.

I'll try to take a look at packaging bibletime, it's on my todo list already.

Which kind of instructions did you mean?
I can try to use it, if you send me RPM package.
I used this program in Mandriva.
Some screenshots and informations are on http://www.bibletime.info/.
I usualy use several translations of bible, searching by chapters and verses, searching dialog for finding concrete word in bible ...

Well instructions how to use bibletime normally. F.ex. just tried to open a german bible, and seems
i was too dumb to change book, chapter and verse, so i thought "That one page is kinda short for a bible"
Seems it works, so i'll work on importing it.

BTW: Don't want to send unfinished packages around, hope you can understand that.

OK.

When or where can I find new package of BibleTime? Can I do for it something?

I will report back here when Bibletime is available. For now you can only be patient,
but currently i have some other bugs and security issues to fix first before adding new packages.

But you could become Mageia packager apprentice and help us do all the interesting work, though
