When this is done you will get a runnable xgettext program which
can be used to recompute gettext.pot.
-2. The package contains a file misc/magic.add. This is intended to be

- will recognize GNU message catalog files (.mo files).

and its associated tools don't come from this package, it might be
a good idea to configure the package with
--program-prefix=g
Systems affected by this are:
Solaris 2.x

one which comes with xview. This one is *not* usable. It's best
you delete^H^H^H^H^H^Hrename it or install this package as in the
point above with
--program-prefix=g

+4. On some system it is better to have strings aligned (I've been told
Sparcs like strings aligned to 8 byte boundaries). If you want to
have the output of msgfmt aligned you can use the -a option. But you
also could change the default value to be different from 1. Take
a look at the --alignment option of msgfmt.

+5. The locale name alias scheme implemented here is in a similar form
implemented in the X Window System. Especially the alias data base
file can be shared. Normally this file is found at something like
locale.alias.
In the misc/ subdirectory you find an example for an alias database file.

might run a long time on slow systems. I saw this problem when running
it on my old i386DX25. The time can really be several minutes,
especially if you have long messages and/or a great number of
If you have a faster implementation of the fstrcmp() function and
want to share it with the rest of use, please contact me.

It is not only this package but any other GNU package, too. These
systems do not provide the simplest functionality to run configure.
