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.
16 Nothing special: make, sed, install, gettext and pod2man.
19 # apt-get install make sed coreutils gettext perl
20 (Although you probably already have some of these installed)
24 Perl - http://www.perl.com (>= 5.8)
25 GTK+2 bindings for Perl - http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net (>= 1.140)
26 Locale::gettext - http://search.cpan.org/~pvandry/gettext-1.05/ (>= 1.05)
27 Claws Mail - http://www.claws-mail.org (>= 3.1.0)
30 # apt-get install libgtk2-perl liblocale-gettext-perl claws-mail
35 After downloading the tarball:
37 tar xzf clawsker-VERSION.tar.gz
41 If finished correctly, become root and:
45 Replace VERSION with the actual version number of the tarball.
47 Default install is under /usr/local prefix. If you want to install in another
48 location (for example /usr) replace last line with:
50 make install PREFIX=/usr
52 Optionally you can provide also a DESTDIR as a root tree for the installation.
57 Patches, and specially, new translations (or updates to the existing) are
60 To create a new translation just change to 'po' directory, copy 'clawsker.pot'
61 into 'xx.po' or 'xx_YY.po', and fill the empty strings and placeholder values.
62 The 'xx' is your language code (e.g.: 'en' for English, 'fr' for French, etc.)
63 and, optionally, 'YY' defines your country variant (e.g.: 'de_CH' for German
64 variant in Switzerland). Country should be used only if your translation is
65 really specific to that location, otherwise, and specially for new languages,
66 try use the generic language (you can always submit a specific one later).
68 Once finished you can test your new translation by adding your 'xx' or 'xx_YY'
69 code to the LINGUAS variable in Makefile and running make. A new .mo file
70 with the same name of your .po file should be created if everything is right.
72 To update an existing translation just type 'make xx.pox' or 'make xx_YY.pox'
73 and update the new .pox file created, copy the .pox file to the .po file and
74 test it as above (no need to modify the Makefile this time).
