---------------------------------
The User Manual is now maintained on the gramps website,

been decided yet though.

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.
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
