GNU Gettext

Name: GNU Gettext
Summary: Utilities for supporting i18n and l10n for applications
License: GPL v3 or later
Version: 0.26
URL: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.26.tar.xz

Configuration

To configure GNU Gettext for install into the build root, run the following command:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-shared

For now, we only need a couple applications from the utilities that are normally installed.

Compilation and Installation

To compile GNU Gettext, run the following command:

make

Finally, to install the minimal required tools from GNU Gettext into the build tree, run the following command:

cp -v gettext-tools/src/{msgfmt,msgmerge,xgettext} /usr/bin

More details about this package is covered later in the core system build.
