Building on non-Linux systems: i18n support and GNU make
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
2006-04-05 03:19:19 +05:30
|
|
|
If make fails, use gmake (the name FreeBSD gives to GNU make) instead.
|
2007-08-18 14:48:43 +05:30
|
|
|
You might need a patch also. FreeBSD has in ports a patch ( /usr/ports/science/gramps/files)
|
|
|
|
|
you need to apply to po/Makefile.in.in
