1 Internationalization and gettext 2 Patrick Powell 3 Fri Sep 5 13:01:06 PDT 2003 4 5Internationalization is done using the gettext 6packages. There are three possibilities to use this 7functionality: 8 9a) no internationalization (default) 10 ./configure 11b) nationalization if system supports it and gettext installed 12 on your system: 13 ./configure --enable-nls 14 15You may discover that system support for NLS has been put into 16/usr/local/{include,lib}. Sometimes the C compiler does not 17search these directories by default and you will need to use: 18 19 configure 'CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include' \ 20 'LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib' --enable-nls 21 22 23 24How to Install the gettext software: 25 261. Get the gettext distribution and install it on your local system 27 28 ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gettext-<version> 29 30 Unpack it by using: 31 32 tar zxvf gettext-<version>.tgz 33 cd gettext-<version> 34 35 Read the documentation. It is pretty straight forward with 36 respect to installation. 37 382.
