Be careful, webkit is always in a development phase.

If you get crashes, remove python-webkit and add the

gecko package instead.
|
|
or

|
python-gtkmozembed is the gecko equivalent to webkit which is more stable.

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
