Did you run the CLucene code through Valgrind? That'll highlight your dbl-free error.

Nathan, I haven't compiled anything under Scratchbox yet.
My first concern was understanding what the 'building blocks' of a Bible reader app would look like.
Sword seemed like a respectable project to pick first. I know nothing about this 'scene' as I'm not a religious person, but I know that many would appreciate such an app, so I'm happy to do what I can to help
Lot more dependencies that I realized.... ;-) Since I already have to deal with these dependencies, I figured I would look at the other bible-readers around using the sword engine. And ran into two of them I thought could be candidates for porting (bibletime and xiphos)
BibleTime's dependencies are listed here - Boost is among them.
For now I'm building everything on Fedora11 and wondering what is worth porting - clearly Sword is, but what about Rapier or BibleTime? As you correctly state, we'll need to rip its GUI off and rebuild something suitable for Maemo5. There also seems to be some dispute over what constitutes a 'good' app interface, so I'm reluctant to invest too heavily until some clearer vision emerges.
However, there is obviously something that can be done for those that want a Bible Reader app. There are some design issues to solve, but it's all perfectly feasible stuff.
Nathan.

Interestingly enough it was a known bug that had a patch that fixed that issue -- so I've applied it and re-ran the tests and it is working.
So I've got a copy of clucene compiling in Scratchbox fine. All I need to do is figure out how to make a package and I can get clucene added to extras-devel.

Allow for the bottom bar to be a plug-in like system for the pieces that have been asked for in this and other threads:
- switch version
- bookmark verse/chapter
- send to notes/memo
- send to email
- tweet/fb verse
- compare verse/chapter
Here's my proposal, does this help?

Seriously? Where are you from? I am just curious... I'm not particularly religious, and only really pray when my Grandma tells me to or when I'm at the Temple, but still...

That gives us our base code for whatever Bible app we eventually figure out

However, it's all very well to say "start with text" (that's not so difficult), but saying "allow for the bottom bar..." is a tad more tricky - these 'plug-in' systems are a notorious tar-pit if approached in the wrong way
Please, hang tight with this process because we're gonna need people like you to steer us in the right direction!

OK....I need to learn about this 'bottom bar' feature....I don't know how it integrates with apps, whether there's a generic interface....
There's lots I don't know...I'm not trying to BS anyone here....I'm an expert professional software engineer, but I'm totally new to this platform - even I need to find my feet
I may not be a religious guy, but I really want to see this through.
Because it's important.
