Re[2]: Build instructions
Hi, Sorry for a small change of topic, but speaking of new builds, I believe it would be great if the 'building instructions' for SDF files were also made available in a simple way to follow. Maybe included with the rest of the process. Like Pedro Lino said, we (me and him) are trying to test the updated translations and it would be of great help if we knew how to create the SDFs. Mechtilde, that page link you sent some time ago is exactly where I found the gsicheck broken link, so it doesn't help much. Patricia, I have a machine in those circumstances and, so far, the only thing I did was the default cygwin installation. I'm very interested in following your 'manual', should it be available.

Hi Mechtilde As Matthias mentioned we (Pedro Albuquerque and myself) would really like to run a build with the complete updated 4.2 Portuguese translation.
