According to the spec, blank lines in message catalogs or lines
beginning with '$ ' are valid comments.
However, there were many cases where lines in the message catalogs
contained just a single '$', without the required space after it.
Under linux, this caused 126766 error lines (in my builds) of the
form:
... unknown directive `': line ignored
This also causes gencat to exit with a non-0 exit code. Even though
gencat says it ignores the line, it really doesn't.
An early porting change to programs/localized/util/merge.c was made to
ignore this return value on linux. This hack has now been removed.
Build logs are a lot smaller and cleaner now.
Use the same set of langs as on Linux and FreeBSD (no Japanese), don't
redefine a needed macro as no-op, and unset LC_CTYPE in the environment
when building cat files.
We need to use mkcatdefs to build those.
mkcatdefs needs to be built from the open motif
source tree (localized/util/mkcatdefs.c)
and installed as:
cde/imports/motif/localized/util/mkcatdefs
BSD make interrupts shell pipeline after
if it cannot run the command:
rm -f Mrm.msg
ln -s ../../../../imports/motif/localized/de_DE.ISO8859-1/msg/Mrm.msg Mrm.msg
Running mkcatdefs for Mrm.cat with LANG set to de_DE.ISO8859-1
( rm -f Mrm.cat Mrm.tmp.msg; LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1; export LANG; ../../../../imports/motif/localized/util/mkcatdefs Mrm Mrm.msg -h > Mrm.tmp.msg; gencat Mrm.cat Mrm.tmp.msg; rm -f Mrm.tmp.msg )
../../../../imports/motif/localized/util/mkcatdefs: not found
*** Error code 127
After this, an empty Mrm.tmp.msg is left.
Introduce KORNSHELL make variable to point
to the implementation of the Korn Shell.
Use $(SHELL) or $(KORNSHELL) explicitly for
make programs that do not automatically call
shell scripts from the current directory.
The dtwm DefaultWindowMenu did not list any of the workspace enabled
Occupy commands, which makes it a bit difficult to move windows into a
workspace, or to occupy multiple workspaces.
This was rectified by copying the relevant lines from the
SampleWindowMenu sections containing them that already existed in the
localized files. Tested on C and DE (German).
Note, there are still some issues with certain programs appearing not
to use their localized message catalogs properly, while others work
fine.
Also, in order to build these now, you need to make sure you have
installed the DE, ES, FR, and IT locales before building or you will
get failures. On [k]ubuntu, at least, you can install these with the
following commands:
sudo locale-gen de_DE
sudo locale-gen es_ES
sudo locale-gen fr_FR
sudo locale-gen it_IT
