!! PACKAGERS, Test if on your distribution

webkit and Gramps is stable. If you obtain crashes, patch

2010-02-06 01:47:39 +05:30
|
|
|
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

|
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

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
