Celestia Forums

Is it possible for anyone to compile Celestia-ED for windows with the new .po files available at http://celestia.teyssier.org/i18n/ ? I would if I knew how to. I would then send that version to Frank Gregorio. I really need this because I want to translate Frank's activities to Portuguese.

I'm also trying to compile Celestia Patch 3 for linux but I can't find any instructions to do so. Has anyone tried this before?

Thanks,

Jos?© Raeiro

Why the double post?

I believe it belongs to both forums, and there may be people who only read one or the other. I didn't read the forum policy, if this is not permitted, please feel free to delete one of them, and accept my apologies.

Some quick hints to build for Linux (all done in a console in the root of the source tree):


Make sure you have all the "auto" tools, GCC and GTK stuff, required libraries (there are many of them!) and locales properly installed and set up on your system.
You may have to create a couple distribution-dependent symlinks too (error messages sent out to the console by the tools will guide you).
Basically, if you want to build for Linux, you are on your own here.

Thanks! I'll try it and then will post something about it. Currently my linux box is taking sun baths to kill the fungus on the power unit

From what I've saw in the forum, Lua Edu Tools will replace patch and ED versions of Celestia.

Well, I thougt that within Linux the community was strong in helping out each other But one always has MAN, etc. I'll mess around and see what I can do. But as I've already said it seems that patch version will be discontinued.
