Beginner to addon development

hmelias09@...
 

Hello Everyone:

 

My name is Hector Elias, and I have began reading the NVDA addon development guide. I have a simple question regarding this manual. Under the section of “Setting up your development environment” where it is talking about the gettext software, I find the following line:

◦ Once downloaded, copy both exe files to your add-on development folder. See the next section for a description of the add-on folder structure.

 

I went to the SourceForge website, and only got one exe file. What am I missing? What is the second file? I only saw the source archive.

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 

Respectfully,

 

Hector
Luke Davis

Sorry, I thought I had clarified that section.

The two files you need are:

msgfmt.exe
xgettext.exe

In order to stop carrying these files in repos, or having to exempt them, and since I discontinued my own build environment and started using Appveyor, I have a gist for those files, and you are welcome to use that directly or download them as you see fit.

Should we just package those with the addon template?

Why is such a discussion not appropriate to the main group?
