This is a guide to compile strgen on gcc

     2

     3

All this is done in the makefile, so it's only interesting for people, who wants to alter something themselves (translators)

HOWTO compile lng files:

     6

     7

First you get strgen compiled (look below/download nightly build/run makefile)

     8

     9

strgen takes the argument of a txt file and translates it to a lng file and places that lng file in the same dir as the txt file.

    10

    11

Example 1:

    12

if you are in the root of your working copy (svn code), you should type

    13

strgen/strgen lang/english.txt

    14

to compile englist.lng. It will be placed in the lang dir

    15

    16

Example 2:

    17

you have strgen but not the source and you want to compile a txt file in the same dir. YOu should type

    18

./strgen english.txt

    19

and you will get english.lng in the same dir

    20

    21

You can change english to whatever language you want

    22

    23

Commands used by strgen

    24

    25

-v --version

    26

strgen will tell what svn revision it is based on

    27

    28

-t

    29

strgen will add <TODO> to the missing strings and use the english strings while compiling

    30

this will need english.txt to be present

    31

    32

-w

    33

strgen will print any missing strings to standard error output(stderr)

    34

this will need english.txt to be present

    35

    36

here are a very useful tool for translators:

HOWTO compile strgen:

    41

(this should be useless as you can just type make)

    42

Goto the main dir

    43

Compile by typing

    44

gcc strgen/strgen.c -o strgen/strgen -DUNIX

    45

or if you want it to tell the revision too

    46

gcc strgen/strgen.c rev.o -o strgen/strgen -DUNIX -DWITH_REV (this is the one the makefile uses)

    47

    48

you now have a program called strgen in the strgen directory
