genstrings doesn't appear to read stdin, but you could run the C preprocessor on your source file, send it to a temp file, and then run genstrings on that.

cpp -DSYS_DARWIN mysource.c >/tmp/foo.c
genstrings /tmp/foo.c >outputfile

Hello,

I have C code that I want to generate a strings file for use on Mac. I use:

#if defined(SYS_DARWIN)
#include <CoreFoundation/CFBundle.h>
#define _(a) CFStringGetCStringPtr(CFCopyLocalizedStringFromTable( \
CFSTR( a ), CFSTR("LibraryLocalizable"), "comment" ), kCFStringEncodingMacRoman)
#else
...


Unfortunately genstrings does not seem to compile the code before attempting to create the strings file. Is there some way to generate a string file while still considering that the code will also be run on other operating systems that generate localizable strings in different ways?

Thanks,
Mitchell Livingston
