[gaim-migrate @ 13136] " I was playing with some new versions of gettext and friends at debconf, and found some horrific bugs in the .po files. Here's the general summary of the problems and their fixes: * no.po should be called nb.po - renamed * a Makevars is required for gettext 0.14.4 - added * am.po was missing a plural form - added * da.po had some mismatched C format types - marked as fuzzy * ka.po had "nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;" instead of the actual plural form - turns out nplural is 1, so deleted the duplicate identical 2nd strings * mk.po had the same problem, added the plural form but nplural is 3 and the translations in the file only have 2 entries, so I marked them as fuzzy * pl.po - fixed mismatched C format type * ru.po - basically the same as mk.po. had a crap plural form. added it and marked the wrongly-numbered plurals as fuzzy * sq.po - added plural form, but file looks correct otherwise (nplurals=2) * tr.po - tweaks to the header, and nplurals=1 so set this and deleted pointless duplicate second forms You need to move no.po to nb.po - it would be silly to include that in the patch obviously. Please apply to HEAD ASAP before it stops applying (obviously if anyone changes the po files the patch will break very easily) but also please leave this item open until me or someone else has looked for and corrected the same issues in oldstable. Regards, Rob" I've been ignoring translations in HEAD as its really rather pointless for now. I plan to continue doing so. but as I was less than clear talking to robot101, i didn't think it was fair to penalize him. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support.
Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated.


1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library
   installed, including glib bindings.  

   http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus


2. Compile gaim

   ./configure --enable-dbus
   make
   make install


3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim

   A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually

      /etc/dbus-1/session.conf

   B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section.  This section
      contains the directory that stores files describing services,
      usually

      /usr/share/dbus-1/services

   C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory

   D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace
      the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim
      executable.


4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already

   eval `dbus-launch --session`
   export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID

   These commands will set the two above shell variables.  These
   variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs.

Start gaim as usual.  To communicate with it, use "gaim-send".  When
you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim
process if one is not running already.
