* Preparations for new release (Gigedit 1.1.1).

1 Gigedit
2 =======
3
4 Gigedit is an instrument editor for gig files. Gig files are
5 used by software samplers such as LinuxSampler and GigaStudio.
6
7 With gigedit it is possible to modify existing gig files and also to
8 create completely new instruments from scratch. Gigedit can be run as
9 a stand-alone application, or as a plugin to LinuxSampler.
10
11 Please note that this is an early version that only includes the most
12 basic features needed to create and edit gig files. There is still a
13 lot to do, fix and improve.
14
15 Be sure to backup your original gig files before editing them in
16 gigedit.
17
18 The latest version of gigedit can be found at:
19
20 https://www.linuxsampler.org

22 Questions, bug reports and suggestions can be sent to LinuxSampler
23 developer's mailing list:

28 License
29 =======

31 Gigedit is licensed under the GNU General Public License. See the file
32 COPYING for details.

35 Requirements
36 ============
37
38 Gigedit requires gtkmm, libgig and libsndfile libraries. There is an
39 optional dependency to LinuxSampler, for being able to play
40 instruments while editing. Also optional is the dependency to gettext
41 for internationalization support.
42
43
44 Installation
45 ============
46
47 On a POSIX system like Linux or OSX you should only have to call the
48 following on the console:
49
50 ./configure
51 make
52 su -c "make install"
53
54 See the file INSTALL for details about these steps and options.
55
56 Windows users shall read the respective README file in the "win32"
57 directory for compilation instructions.
58
59
60 Building from CVS
61 =================
62
63 ./autogen.sh
64 ./configure
65 make
66 su -c "make install"
67
68
69 Internationalization: Help on Translations !
70 ============================================
71
72 You want to help us translating gigedit into a language you speak? Good!
73 This is how it works:
74
75 Updating an existing translation (at the moment only Swedish and German):
76 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
77
78 First collect all text from gigedit's current C++ source code, by typing
79 the following:
80
81 cd po
82 make update-po
83
84 The language source files (de.po, sv.po, ...) are now updated and you may
85 open one of it now either with a text editor of your choice or better: by
86 using the graphical translation tool "poedit":
87
88 poedit de.po
89
90
91 Add a new translation (for another language not yet supported):
92 ---------------------------------------------------------------
93
94 First collect all text from gigedit's current C++ source code, by typing
95 the following:
96
97 cd po
98 make update-po
99
100 There should now be a yet untranslated file "gigedit.pot". Rename it to
101 to the language you want to translate, i.e.:
102
103 mv gigedit.pot ru.po
104
105 Now either open the file ("ru.po") with a text editor of your choice or
106 better: by using the graphical translation tool "poedit":
107
108 poedit ru.po
109
110 After you are done with translating the language file, please send it to us!
