Xiphos is a Bible study tool written for Linux, UNIX, and Windows using GTK, offering a rich and featureful environment for reading, study, and research using modules from The SWORD Project and elsewhere.
Attempting to build Xiphos from git master results in a massive number of errors like this:
/usr/include/c++/13/type_traits:652:3: error: template with C linkage
652 | template<typename _Tp>
| ^~~~~~~~
/home/user/proj/xiphos/xiphos/src/main/sword.h:26:1: note: 'extern "C"' linkage started here
26 | extern "C" {
| ^~~~~~~~~~
The issue can be solved by patching src/main/sword.h with the attached patch. The start of the extern "C" block is moved down a bit so that the GTK and GLib includes are no longer inside the extern "C" area. This allows Xiphos to build and run successfully.
