Approximate build time: 5.8 SBU Required disk space: 125 MB

6.41.1. Installation of Gettext

Prepare Gettext for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gettext-0.18.1.1

To test the results (this takes a long time, around 3 SBUs), issue:

make check

Install the package:

make install

autopoint Copies standard Gettext infrastructure files into a source package config.charset Outputs a system-dependent table of character encoding aliases config.rpath Outputs a system-dependent set of variables, describing how to set the runtime search path of shared libraries in an executable envsubst Substitutes environment variables in shell format strings gettext Translates a natural language message into the user's language by looking up the translation in a message catalog gettext.sh Primarily serves as a shell function library for gettext gettextize Copies all standard Gettext files into the given top-level directory of a package to begin internationalizing it hostname Displays a network hostname in various forms msgattrib Filters the messages of a translation catalog according to their attributes and manipulates the attributes msgcat Concatenates and merges the given .po files msgcmp Compares two .po files to check that both contain the same set of msgid strings msgcomm Finds the messages that are common to to the given .po files msgconv Converts a translation catalog to a different character encoding msgen Creates an English translation catalog msgexec Applies a command to all translations of a translation catalog msgfilter Applies a filter to all translations of a translation catalog msgfmt Generates a binary message catalog from a translation catalog msggrep Extracts all messages of a translation catalog that match a given pattern or belong to some given source files msginit Creates a new .po file, initializing the meta information with values from the user's environment msgmerge Combines two raw translations into a single file msgunfmt Decompiles a binary message catalog into raw translation text msguniq Unifies duplicate translations in a translation catalog ngettext Displays native language translations of a textual message whose grammatical form depends on a number recode-sr-latin Recodes Serbian text from Cyrillic to Latin script xgettext Extracts the translatable message lines from the given source files to make the first translation template libasprintf defines the autosprintf class, which makes C formatted output routines usable in C++ programs, for use with the <string> strings and the <iostream> streams libgettextlib a private library containing common routines used by the various Gettext programs; these are not intended for general use libgettextpo Used to write specialized programs that process .po files; this library is used when the standard applications shipped with Gettext (such as msgcomm, msgcmp, msgattrib, and msgen) will not suffice libgettextsrc A private library containing common routines used by the various Gettext programs; these are not intended for general use preloadable_libintl A library, intended to be used by LD_PRELOAD that assists libintl in logging untranslated messages.
