<h2>GNOME Makefile Macros</h2>
<p>For ports that <i>require</i> GNOME, you should define the following
in your port's Makefile:</p>

<h2>GNOME Internationalization</h2>
<p>GNOME relies on the <tt>gettext</tt> port to do
internationalization (I18N). FreeBSD currently supports two versions
of <tt>gettext</tt>: 0.10.35 and 0.10.40. Most ports can use
0.10.35. However, if, when compiling your port, you get an error
building the .po translation files similar to the following you will
need to use the newer version of <tt>gettext</tt>:</p>
<pre>
/usr/local/bin/msgfmt -o zh_TW.mo zh_TW.po
zh_TW.po:255: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:912: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.po:2806: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:2856: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:2879: illegal control sequence
zh_TW.po:2982: end-of-line within string
found 6 fatal errors
</pre>
<p>To use the newer <tt>gettext</tt>, add the following to your port's
Makefile:</p>
<pre>
BUILD_DEPENDS= msgfmt-new:${PORTSDIR}/devel/gettext-devel
CONFIGURE_ENV+= MSGFMT=${LOCALBASE}/bin/msgfmt-new \
XGETTEXT=${LOCALBASE}/bin/xgettext-new
</pre>
<p>When installing GNOME applications, make sure the translation
files are put in <tt>/usr/X11R6/share/locale</tt> and
not <tt>/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/locale</tt>. To do this, add the
following to your port's Makefile's <tt>pre-patch:</tt> section:</p>
<pre>
pre-patch:
@find ${WRKSRC} -name "Makefile.in*" | xargs ${PERL} -pi -e \
's|\$\(datadir\)/gnome/|\$\(datadir\)/|g ; \
s|\$\(datadir\)/locale|\$\(prefix\)/share/locale|g'
</pre>
<p>Also, make sure the translation files are installed as .mo files and
not .gmo files. To do this, you can generally use this
<a href="../patches/patch-po::Makefile.in.in">patch</a>.</p>
<!-- End GNOME I18N -->
<p>The more ported applications we have, the better.
