Release Name: 1.2.1
Notes: * XDrdesktop README * XDrdesktop is a front-end to rdesktop made with bash script and Xdialog. It uses other tools too, like grep, which, whereis,sed , gawk and lpstat (for printers). It is free under terns of GNU GPL and you can use it at your won risk. To understand more about GNU GPL go to www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html. XDrdesktop was created by Allan Brazute Alves <allan (at) GHSix .com.br>. Project hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdrdesktop. Usage: a) Be sure that the script is executable (ls -l): -rwxr-xr-x 1 allan allan 17K Nov 25 23:59 xdrdesktop b) If not, do a (chmod 755 xrdesktop) to let -rwxr-xr-x c) Run it typing (./xdrdesktop) or install it to a bin path. If not root: (certify that $HOME/bin are in your path in .bash_profile file) mkdir $HOME/bin cp xdrdesktop $HOME/bin If you have root access: su -c "cp xdrdesktop /usr/bin/" d) To become localized, the locale directory that come with the package, need to be at the same path as xdrdesktop executable. So, if you had copyed the xdrdesktop to you /usr/bin dir, as above, do that too: su -c "cp -a locale /usr/bin" e) Be nice with your self and create a icon on your desktop to call xdrdesktop. XD - Simple uncompacting it on the root of you home will be sifficient to it to create a menu entry to your user Mandriva KDE menu and the bin ! ******* Translation: If you want to translate it to you language, do that: a) Be sure that gettext is installed on you system. b) bash --dump-po-strings xdrdesktop.po c) Edit xdrdesktop.po file with your prefered editor and translate the sentences like the example: Generated file contens: msgid "Bye! " msgstr "" Translated file will be: msgid "Bye! " msgstr "Tchau! " d) After your translation is done, generate the binary file and test it, like this example: msgfmt -o xdrdesktop.mo xdrdesktop.po mkdir -p locale/YLV/LC_MESSAGES cp xdrdesktop.mo locale/YLV/LC_MESSAGES/ (YLV is Your Language Variable, as en is for english and pt_BR is for Braziliam Portuguese). Be sure that YLV is the same is set in your LANG variable. Execute xdrdesktop and see if is all ok. Don't forget that this locale directory need to be at the same path as xdrdesktop executable. (set|grep LANG to see what you have seted on you system variables.) Send the .po file to me that I will add it to XDrdesktop. :-)
