Building gettext files failed

[NeroBurner]

Hi,
up to now I used Wiican 0.2.0 and it worked. Now I uptdated to version 0.3.1. When I try to start Wiican over the menu I get an error-window
Wiican Mapping Pagage load failed
No wiican package mapping found:

the menu starter executes with the following command:
wiican -f "%F"

When I start Wiican with terminal following message is spammed:
~$ wiican

(wiican:3561): GConf-WARNING **: haven't implemented getting a specific locale in GConfClient

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/wiican", line 323, in <module>
    launch_statusicon()
  File "/usr/bin/wiican", line 283, in launch_statusicon
    gobject.MainLoop().run()
KeyboardInterrupt

For now I just edited the menu starter, but can anyone explain to my why i get those GConf-WARNING and what %F should do?

Nero

Ps: great work!

Hello Neroburner,

You're talking about two problems: wiican desktop entry file and gconf warnings.
Please don't worry about the gconf warnings 'cause they're pretty inoffensive.
The %F thing has been resolved in the last commit on trunk branch. Would you be so nice to test if this now works for you?

Thanks!

hello,
I have some difficulties installing wiican.
What I've done:

nero@ubuntu:~$ bzr branch lp:wiican

please tell me what I did wrong

Oh! sorry for answering too late. I hope you're interested yet in solve the problem and test wiican.

You need to install gettext as a build dependency for installing wiican. Try installing gettext and do the setup-install-thing again.

[NeroBurner (neroburner)]

I did "apt-get build-dep gettext" and then the setup-install-thingy and now it works great
thx, you're the best

[Zenox (zenox-player)]

Hey, sorry for bothering you again withe the same problem ...
I had just the same problem as Nero, so installed gettext and run the installation again. But it's still the same:

user@user:~/wiican-0.3.1$ sudo python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
copying wiican/defs.py -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/wiican
running build_scripts
compiling po/sv.po -> build/mo/sv/wiican.mo
Building gettext files failed. Try setup.py --without-gettext [build|install]
Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Before I've installed cwiid and wminput and I'm using Ubuntu 10.04
Is there maybe another thing that should be done??

Thank you very much,
Zenox

[J. Félix Ontañón (fontanon)]

Hi Zenox,

Could you please try wiican-0.3.2? It seems you're using 0.3.1 and 0.3.2 version was released a pair of weeks ago.

I'm having the same issue on Kubuntu 12.04. Using WiiCan 0.3.3 tarball. Have already "apt-get build-dep gettext"
