|
|
to your language:
|
|
language-pack-gnome-xx
|
|
Translation of GTK elements to your language, with
|
|
xx your language code eg for Dutch you need
|
|
language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the
|
|
Gramps strings is included with the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
|
|
osmgpsmap Used to show maps in the geography view.
|
|
Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
|
|
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_3.3_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Geography_Category
|
|
The package is named osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map
|
|
or python-osmgpsmap. Or obtain it from: http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/
|
|
GraphViz Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine.
|
|
Without this no beautiful graphs can be created.
|
|
Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org
|
|
pyexiv2 Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your
|
|
media. Gramps needs version 0.1.3 or greater.
|
|
Obtain it from: http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/download.html
|
|
PyICU Improves localised sorting in Gramps. In particular, this
|
|
applies to sorting in the various views and in the Narrative
|
|
Web output. It is particularly helpful for non-Latin
|
|
characters, for non-English locales and on MS Windows and
|
|
Mac OS X platforms. If it is not available, sorting is done
|
|
through built-in libraries. PyICU is fairly widely available
|
|
through the package managers of distributions. The home page
|
|
is http://pyicu.osafoundation.org/
|
|
|
|
The following packages are optional
|
|
python gtkspell Enable spell checking in the notes, gtkspell contains the
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
ttf-freefont More font support in the reports
|
|
|
|
PyWebKitGtk or python-gtkmozembed:
|
|
The hidden view 'Htmlview' allows websites to be opened in
|
|
Gramps. Users can unhide the view in the plugin manager.
|
|
A html renderer must be installed to use the view.
|
|
!! PACKAGERS, Test if on your distribution
|
|
webkit and Gramps is stable. If you obtain crashes, patch
|
|
src/plugins/view/htmlrenderer.py and
|
|
src/plugins/view/geoview.gpr.py, so as to remove:
|
|
import webkit
|
|
Then use the gecko package (python-gtkmozembed) instead.
|
|
If WEBKIT ang GECKO are installed, webkit will be used as
|
|
the javascript engine is faster (google maps).
|
|
* PyWebKitGtk
|
|
Enable html rendering for the Web view. Often called
|
|
python-webkit package. Be careful, webkit is always in a
|
|
development phase.
|
|
* python-gtkmozembed
|
|
Enable html rendering for the Web view in case PyWebKitGtk
|
|
is not available or to be used if webkit is unstable.
|
|
It can be in python-gnome2-extras or python-gtkhtml2
|
|
depending on distributions.
|
|
|
|
python-pygoocanvas:
|
|
Required for the experimental Graphview plugin
|
|
|
|
No longer needed in 3.3:
|
|
python-enchant Enchant
|
|
No longer needed in 3.2:
|
|
python glade bindings
|
|
No longer needed in 3.1:
|
|
yelp Gnome help browser. At the moment no help is shipped
|
|

|
Documentation
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
The User Manual is now maintained on the gramps website,
|
|
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_manual
|
|
We might in the future distribute again a manual via gnome-doc-utils, this has not
|
|
been decided yet though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building on non-Linux systems: i18n support and GNU make
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
If make fails, use gmake (the name FreeBSD gives to GNU make) instead.
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Note to Windows AIO-users
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Sometimes the theme used in Windows will not work properly.
|
|
Run gtk2_prefs.exe, which can be found in
|
|
C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64\bin
|
|
r in
|
|
C:\Program Files (X86)\GrampsAIO32\bin
|
|
and select "Crux" or "Clearlooks".
