[04:21] <odarbelaeze> Hi, there
[18:21] <odra> Hey
[18:23] <odra> Can someone help me how apps work in ubuntu?
[18:24] <odra> about how*
[18:24] <odra> I'm a little confused about how localization and program settings work in linux :/
[18:31] <JanC> if by localisation you mean translations, usually gettext is used for that
[18:32] <JanC> other localisation options are usually handled by the C library and/or other libraries (e.g. the GUI libraries)
[18:32] <odra> JanC: I'm using that, but I heard localization and program settings should go into their specific directories in linux, and I don't really understand it's directory structure :S
[18:34] <JanC> translations get installed into /usr/share/locale/ (or probably a similar */share/locale/ location if installed under /opt or in your home)
[18:35] <JanC> but usually that happens more or less automatically by the build system  ;)
[18:36] <JanC> configuration files usually are under /etc/ or ~/.config/
[18:38] <JanC> possibly in a subdirectory under that, especially if there is more than one config file
[18:50] <odra> Build system?
[19:58] <Halite> I'd like to develop an app for Ubuntu
[20:03] <Halite> anyone
[20:06] <commandoline> Halite: see http://developer.ubuntu.com/ .
[20:07] <commandoline> odra: the automatic tools which compile your source code & put it in the right place on your system so it can be executed.
[20:16] <Halite> when the package been installed, what do I do
