- English speakers need do nothing !! Do NOT install the catalog "libc.cat"
- unless you want change the text to be more explanatory/informative. If you
- just wanna see the libc cataloging in action just do a "make check" in this
- directory and then a make install will install the catalog. From now on all
- libc internal messages will be prepended with a X- (for example
- "X-Permission denied")
-
- If you are translating messages please read the README.editing and
- README.translate files.
-
- I wrote a small awk (well GNU's gawk actually) script to extract strings from
- source files to make them message files. Try:
- ./extract ../../sysdeps/linux/_errlist.c
- Not very clever, but it works. Gawk-2.15.3 broke this awk script so you must
- use the flex binary `xtract' instead. Just type "make xtract" and use this
- instead of `extract' in the example above.
-
- As of 24th Oct 1993 I only have German errlist messages.
-
- If you find a bug or feel a libc message might have been forgotten to be
- catalog'ed (very possible) then please don't hesitate to contact me.

- Thanx
