2 Clawsker - A Claws Mail Tweaker
3 -------------------------------
5 Clawsker is a Perl-GTK2 applet to edit hidden preferences for Claws Mail,
6 and to do it in a safe and user friendly way, preventing users from raw
7 editing of configuration files.
9 Claws Mail is a fast and lightweight Mail User Agent by the Claws Mail Team.
11 You can download the latest version from Clawsker homepage:
13 http://www.claws-mail.org/clawsker
20 Nothing special: make, sed, install, gettext and pod2man.
23 # apt-get install make sed coreutils gettext perl
24 (Although you probably already have some of these installed)
28 Perl - http://www.perl.com (>= 5.8)
29 GTK+2 bindings for Perl - http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net (>= 1.161) built
30 with GTK+ >= 2.12 (lower GTK+ versions do not support widget tooltips and
32 Locale::gettext - http://search.cpan.org/~pvandry/gettext-1.05/ (>= 1.05)
33 Claws Mail - http://www.claws-mail.org (>= 3.1.0)
36 # apt-get install libgtk2-perl liblocale-gettext-perl claws-mail
41 After downloading the tarball:
43 tar xzf clawsker-VERSION.tar.gz
47 If finished correctly, become root and:
51 Replace VERSION with the actual version number of the tarball.
53 Default install is under /usr/local prefix. If you want to install in another
54 location (for example /usr) replace last line with:
56 make install PREFIX=/usr
58 Optionally you can provide also a DESTDIR as a root tree for the installation.
63 Patches, bug fixes, and specially, new translations (or updates to the
64 existing ones) are welcome.
66 To create a new translation just change to 'po' directory, copy 'clawsker.pot'
67 into 'xx.po' or 'xx_YY.po', and fill the empty strings and placeholder values.
68 The 'xx' is your language code (e.g.: 'en' for English, 'fr' for French, etc.)
69 and, optionally, 'YY' defines your country variant (e.g.: 'de_CH' for German
70 variant in Switzerland). Country should be used only if your translation is
71 really specific to that location, otherwise, and specially for new languages,
72 try use the generic language (you can always submit a specific one later).
74 Once finished you can test your new translation by adding your 'xx' or 'xx_YY'
75 code to the LINGUAS variable in Makefile and running make. A new .mo file
76 with the same name of your .po file should be created if everything is right.
78 To update an existing translation just type 'make xx.pox' or 'make xx_YY.pox'
79 and update the new .pox file created, copy the .pox file to the .po file and
80 test it as above (no need to modify the Makefile this time).
85 You can send bug reports to the Issues list on http://clawsker.googlecode.com/
86 Also directly by mail to me or in the Claws Mail mailing list, but the Issues
87 list is the preferred way.
