Code Repository

If you are here, then you know that the code is stored on github. Bug and requests should be reported in the "Issues" section.

Bug Reports

Please include as much information as possible. Include the /tmp/bibledit/bibledit.log file, or a copy-and-paste of the Help | System log window. If you know how to run gdb, do that, and copy and paste a backtrace from it. If you can include the contents of your ~/.bibledit folder (tar -czf bibledit.tar.gz .bibledit) that would be helpful.

Building in Linux

Here's how to set up your build environment in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or ArchLinux. I will assume you can adapt these instructions for your flavor of Linux if it is not one of those.

1. Make sure you have git (on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install git)
2. cd ~
3. git clone https://github.com/postiffm/bibledit-desktop.git
4. bibledit-desktop/linux/buildenvLinux.sh

Doing the Build

1. cd bibledit-desktop
2. ./autogen.sh
3. ./configure
4. make
5. sudo make install
6. Run the program from /usr/bin/bibledit-desktop (was bibledit-gtk)
7. I recommend you lock the icon in Ubuntu launcher.

Building in Windows

Debugging

See linux/DEBUGGING.txt and linux/PROFILING.txt for some tips on debugging in Linux.

See windows/DEBUGGING.txt and other files in that directory for tips on development in Windows.
