Requirements
--------------------------------
The following packages *MUST* be installed in order for Gramps to work:
Python 2.5 or greater
PyGTK2 2.12 or greater
librsvg2 (svg icon view)
xdg-utils
The following package is needed for full translation of the interface
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 or osm-gps-map
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
The following packages are optional
python gtkspell
python enchant Enable spell checking in the notes, gtkspell contains the
libraries, enchant is needed to query the installed languages.
Both must be present for spell check to activate
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.
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
