I would love to see a version of BPBible that can just be run on Linux without installing Sword, wxPython, ... Could those libraries be distributed with the program for a portable Linux setup?

I'm not sure how hard this would be... might take a look at it if this would be a possibility.

Trying to follow guide here: http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/wiki/RunningBPBible

I've downloaded the sword engine from SVN, svn co https://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/ sword

In the directory sword/bindings/swig/package, I've run ./autogen.sh, then ./configure, then make pythonswig and get this:

mkdir -p python
python -c++ -shadow -o python/Sword.cxx -I. -I/usr/include/sword ./sword.i
File "", line 1
++
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make: [pythonswig] Error 1 (ignored)

Is there something I'm missing?
