Re: [pilot-db-list] few things

[Yedidyah Bar-D. <di...@ta...>]

OK, I will make it a separate message for each issue.
I also subscribed to the list. Still, there are a few things I won't
repeat in each message: I use Debian sid, with the following versions:
prc-tools 2.2.90.cvs20030306-4 (has gcc 2.95.3, gdb 5.3)
pose 3.5-6 (the first version working for me - for a few months I
was pretty sure I'll have to use the simulator on Windows, which isn't
as simple for me) with the ROM of a Palm m130 (PalmOS 4.1)
palmos sdk 5r3

I tried and worked with pilot-db 1.1.0, 1.2.0 alpha 5 (the compiled
prc from sf.net), and the CVS version of today. Earlier versions needed
minor tweaks to compile against sdk-5r3, the CVS compiled cleanly.

I used the following to compile:
./configure --enable-standard --enable-debug --enable-sony=no --enable-handera=no --enable-fiveways=no --enable-make_plugins
without '--enable-sony=no --enable-handera=no --enable-fiveways=no', I
had some compilation problems, I guess because you need a different sdk
for this, didn't check.
As I said, in some cases I added '--with-vldb=0', more about that in
a different message.

Well, it's pretty simple, and documented in docs/translating.txt. I had
to add the file to rcp/langs/, and add the line 'include(iw.rcp)' to
rcp/db.rcp (or rather, to db.rcp.in, before running configure). Then,
'make db-iw.rcp' worked. No need to change the Makefile, as written there.
It's probably possible to even make the change to db.rcp automatic too,
but I didn't look at this.

But I do not mind that you'll wait with this - as I said, the translation
does need some more work, and I did not even start with the help file.
