• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Standard Edition or above - Express editions not supported by the SDK)
  
• Windows Mobile SDK 
• CrossWire Bible Society's "The SWORD Project" Library
  • Note: Our Subversion source is always based upon the latest subversion source available at CrossWire's website.
• SwordReader's Source code - instructions for obtaining are listed below.

Obtaining the Source

Assuming you have already installed TortoiseSVN and the The SWORD Project library source code...

From the same directory you created for downloading the The SWORD Project library source , eg. D:\src\sword open this folder and right-click on the background
Choose the "Checkout..." option from the subversion sub-menu in Window's Explorer.
Enter the correct URL for the repository, eg. https://crosswire.org/svn/swordreader/trunk
