Note, there are still some issues with certain programs appearing not
to use their localized message catalogs properly, while others work
fine.
Also, in order to build these now, you need to make sure you have
installed the DE, ES, FR, and IT locales before building or you will
get failures. On [k]ubuntu, at least, you can install these with the
following commands:
sudo locale-gen de_DE
sudo locale-gen es_ES
sudo locale-gen fr_FR
sudo locale-gen it_IT
- databases need linux specific entries for CDE-SHLIBS
- database Imakefile should undef the platform define (linux)
- installCDE fixes
- use $LOGFILE. There are still cases where tmp files are created
in /tmp.
- detect and set proper PLATFORM
- Check to see if a db exists before trying to use it
- don't print usage if you aren't root.
Do not require the user to be root
Use -e in echo statments so that embedded \t's etc will display.
Do not save install log in /tmp with a known name, especially since
it is supposed to be run as root. This is a Bad Thing To Do (tm).
Instead just save the log in the current dir.
