Re: Query on generation of mo files

[Paras pradhan <pradhanparas gmail com>]

Ok using strace i found the following line by grepping..


--
open("/usr/share/locale/ne/LC_MESSAGES/gnomemeeting.mo", O_RDONLY) =
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
----------

which means this the good way i can get the names.. i will check them..

but i can't use strace whoese binary executable is not known....

like: libgtop and others...

i don;t know which binary application is using libgtop.


Thanks
Paras.
