• MSYS2 + binutils + gcc (such as i686-8.1.0-release-win32-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0 / x86_64-8.1.0-release-win32-seh-rt_v6-rev0 ) + etc.

How to build Gerbv-2.10.0 for win multilingual

1. Extract or git clone this project into some directory.
2. Put gerbv-2.10.0.tar.gz and dxflib-3.26.4-src.tar.gz into the above directory.
3. Edit Makefile as you need.
4. Execute command make in the directory.

How to localize

1. Copy gerbv.pot to a file named <lang>.po, where <lang> is a Language Code.
2. Edit translations in <lang>.po and save it using UTF-8 encoding.
3. Execute msgfmt <lang>.po -o gerbv.mo in MSYS2.
4. Copy gerbv.mo into <gerb_folder>\share\locale\<lang>\LC_MESSAGES\.

I've never used but there's a tool called Poedit, which can handle .po files.
