Source code for Gramps Genealogical program
d0265cebaf
Rewrote the launcher in python with much improved language handling; renamed it to rungramps.py, and replaced launcher.sh with a minimal shell launcher. Any english selection will now have $LANG set to "C", while $LC_ALL will be set to whatever english variant the user selected (and en_US if she specified just "en"). For languages other than English, $LC_ALL will be set to xx_XX if the language selection had no region (e.g., if the language selection is de, $LANG will be de and $LC_ALL will be de_DE. $LANG will be truncated if the language selection has a region that Gramps doesn't support, but does support the bare language (e.g., if the language selection is de_DE, $LANG will be de because there is no de_DE translation. Gettext is smart enough to get this right without the help, but the check is necessary to ensure that we don't skip over a supported generic language. The language settings can now be overridden for gramps by using the defaults system. svn: r17342 |

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
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:
pyexiv2-0.1.3 Enables Exif metadata for use with "Image Metadata"
or greater and "Edit Image Exif Metadata"
http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/download.html
GraphViz Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine
http://www.graphviz.org
osmgpsmap Used to show maps in the geography view.
The package is named osmgpsmap or osm-gps-map
http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/
The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed if you want
to use the htmlview. The geography view doesn't use them any more :
PyWebKitGtk or python-gtkmozembed: PACKAGERS, Test if on your distribution
webkit and Gramps is stable. If you get 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 Geographic view and Web view
Often called python-webkit package.
Be careful, webkit is always in a development phase.
* python-gtkmozembed
Enable html rendering for Geographic view and Web view
The gecko (firefox) equivalent to webkit, at the moment
of writing, more stable than webkit.
It can be in python-gnome2-extras or python-gtkhtml2
depending on distributions.
The following packages are optional
python gtkspell & python enchant : Enable spell checking in the notes,
the first contains the libraries, the second is
needed to query the installed languages. Both must
be present for spell check to activate
ttf-freefont More font support in the reports
No longer needed in 3.1:
yelp Gnome help browser. At the moment no help is shipped
No longer needed in 3.2:
python glade bindings
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
