Documentation
---------------------------------
The User Manual is now maintained, built and installed using gnome-doc-utils.

how this works.
Current HTML documentation can also be found on the gramps website,

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
