Enforce a specific language

[Срђан Хрњак]

Basenji starts with english interface, not my locale (serbian). There is serbian translation for Basenji but I can't find how to change it.

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

Background: Basenji automatically determines the language from the operating system, but some languages aren't supported by the mono runtime unfortunately.

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

Ok, i added support for language overriding.
Please upgrade Basenji from the daily PPA (https://launchpad.net/~pulb/+archive/basenji-daily)
and append "EnforceCulture = sr" to ~/.config/Basenji/settings .

Please let me know if it works for you.

I'm using Lucid. I'll have to compile Basenji 0.8 if it is possible, it's not in PPA.

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

Argh, that's bad. There's no lucid build in the PPA because basenji > 0.7.1 requires gio-sharp which is not available in the lucid repos.
You can try to download it from here though: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libgio-cil
The latest basenji code can be obtained via "bzr pull lp:basenji". Compilation instructions are available in the README file.
I hope this helps.

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

You'll also need this one: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libgio2.0-cil-dev

[Срђан Хрњак (srdjan-hrnjak)]

Never used bzr before. I'm getting this:

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "/home/gorstak/temp/basenji-0.8.0/".

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

sorry, my mistakte. that should actually read "bzr branch lp:basenji"

[Срђан Хрњак (srdjan-hrnjak)]

now it's

./configure
Looking for required packages
Checking for package 'glib-sharp-2.0'.. ERROR: Package named 'glib-sharp-2.0' >= 2.12.10 not found.
Try adjusting your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

can't find glib-sharp-2.0 anywhere :(

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

Make sure you installed all the dependencies stated in the README file. Just search for the names in synaptic.
Also check if you have installed the development versions of this packages, i.e. they end in *-dev
If you search for glib-sharp for example, you will find libglib-2.0-dev.

You also need to edit the configure file, please replace the line

common_packages=" glib-sharp-2.0;2.12.10 gtk-sharp-2.0;2.12.10 ndesk-dbus-1.0;0.6.0 ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0;0.4.1"

by

common_packages=" glib-sharp-2.0;2.12.9 gtk-sharp-2.0;2.12.9 ndesk-dbus-1.0;0.6.0 ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0;0.4.1"

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

("libglib-2.0-dev" should read "libglib2.0-cil-dev" in the post above)

[Срђан Хрњак (srdjan-hrnjak)]

I compiled and installed 0.8.1.0 and it works. Still, editing ~/.config/Basenji/settings didn't help, interface is in english. Can this compiled version help you to update Lucid's PPA?

[Срђан Хрњак (srdjan-hrnjak)]

Sorry, it works! Basenji was open and it undo changes in settings file on close :|

Something bit off-topic- I have some suggestions/feature requests, where can I post them?

[Patrick Ulbrich (pulb)]

Nice to see it works for you on good old lucid :-)
If you have feature requests just fill new bugs.
