translitcodec Failed rebuilding transtab (missing uniset command)

@mgkuhn, is there a recommended way to install the uniset command needed by the transtab Makefile?

@claudep So far, uniset was simply distributed as a flat tarball https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/uniset.tar.gz containing the Perl executable and a collection of associated data files, leaving it up to the user to decide where to install it.

I've now added a make install target. DESTDIR defaults to /usr/local, but you can override that with e.g. make install DESTDIR=$HOME/local. I also uploaded the repository to github. Hope this helps ...

Thanks a LOT for that quick move. By the way, does transtab itself have some canonical home? A commit like da123309900c might have more sense in some upstream location.

The only distribution file I did (very briefly, back in ~2000) was https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/transtab.tar.gz I've just found the sources and RCS archive and may at some point also convert and upload that to github.

It is indeed the one you created 20 years ago: https://github.com/claudep/translitcodec/blob/master/transtab/README !
