Well, I have some good news (pun not intended) and some bad news. ;-)

The good news:


I've got rapier running under the final Fremantle SDK, everything built and compiled.

I'm currently using pretty much the latest version of everything
- ICU 4.2.1
- Sword 1.60
- CLucene 0.93
- Rapier 1.04

I have also figured out how to package at least CLucene and have requested privileges to upload to the "extras" a couple days ago.

The Bad news:
- Their is a "crashing" bug in one of the tools that does part of the building under the Armel target. It is stopping me from being able to compile this under Armel instruction set (what the n900 device runs) -- I have a post in both the dev mailing list and dev forum here to try and get this resolved. Apparently it is a known issue -- and other devs have ran into it.

Until this bug is fixed; I cannot "offiically" port any of the Bible programs using the sword engine to the fremantle device. ;-( Fortunately this is a tool that is being used by other projects so their should be some pressure to get it fixed soon as more developers run into it. (and their might be a couple ways to work around it)

I might be able to work around it one other way but it would then be a single installable package from my server rather than from extras since, until this tool is fixed the build-bots would also crash while attempting to build it. Where I would have pre-built all the binaries and packaged
