DxGetText

[Riccardo Giuliani]

Don't know if this is the right place for this topic.

My question is about the dxgettext downloadable from http://dxgettext.po.dk/.
The presentations says:
"The best translation toolkit for Delphi, C++ Builder, Kylix, FreePascal and Lazarus"; I supposed it working well with FPC and Lazarus, so I tried it.
By following the guide http://dxgettext.po.dk/documentation/how-to, I stopped myself into the first section: after that I compiled my project...
first of all some errors appeared about duplicated items (conflicting with procedures' names), in order:

• textdomain, 5 times
• DefaultDomainDirectory
• curlang

changed their names i then felt into another error:

Code: [Select]

gnugettext.pas(916,22) Error: Identifier not found "EnumResourceModules"
I checked that this procedure belongs to Delphi's set, and not to FPC or Lazarus: isn't it?

How to solve this?
Thank you.

P.S.: after this one, other errors follow; but too much stuff indeed to put together.

In the dxgettext-packages\dxgettext-linux\dxgettext\freepascal and dxgettext-packages\dxgettext\dxgettext\freepascal directories of the dxgettext package you'll find freepascal versions of gnugettext.pas.  Are that the ones you are using?

Sorry for the delay.

I'm on Win XP, but this apart now I used the .pas files inside a folder called Freepascal, which I passed over the first time: these 2 files are gnugettext and gnugettext_fpc.
I added both of them to my project, including the units in the uses of the units with forms... and same errors came up; compilation stops onto the procedure EnumResourceModules.
I looked around for some fpc examples, but nothing found.

Thanks for your help.

Looked back to an old project that used dxgettext and I notice that I removed a lot of delphi  problem code in {$ifndef fpc}.
There is also the unit gettext in fpc documented here: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Getting_translation_strings_right

If for one reason or another you need dxgettext (my code had to compile with Delphi and fpc), let me know and I'll try to make a diff against the latest svn revision.

Don't waste time for me 
I'll give a try to the internal gettext first.
Maybe in future I'll return back to make dxgettext perform on fpc (I hope )

See you!
