Documentation
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
Gramps documentation is supplied in the form of XML files, which will be
|
|
installed in the GNOME help path(*). Gnome help browser (Yelp) uses these
|
|
(properly installed) XML files to display the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Of course, current HTML documentation can also be found on the gramps website,
|
|
http://gramps-project.org/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=7
|
|
|
|
(*) More precisely, they are installed
|
|
in ${prefix}/share/gramps/gnome/help/gramps,
|
|
where ${prefix} is given by the --prefix= option
|
|
to configure (defaults to /usr).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building on non-Linux systems: i18n support and GNU make
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Linux has libintl (GNU gettext) built-in the C library. Other systems
|
|
are likely to have libintl as a separate or optional library. Also,
|
|
other systems may have a different make utility.
|
|
|
|
On those systems, like FreeBSD, you must tell configure where to find
|
|
the libintl library and the libintl.h include file:
|
|
|
|
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
|
|
Once you have done this, if make fails, use gmake (the name FreeBSD
|
|
gives to GNU make) instead.
