%general-entities; ]> Gettext temporary system Many packages' installation procedures use the msgfmt program for i18n support, so we will compile and install it into /tools. Only the programs in the gettext-tools directory need to be installed for the temp-system: cd gettext-tools When cross-compiling, the Gettext configure script assumes we don't have a working wcwidth even when when we do. The following will fix possible compilation errors because of this assumption: echo "gl_cv_func_wcwidth_works=yes" > config.cache Prepare Gettext for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/tools \ --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \ --disable-shared --cache-file=config.cache Compile the required programs and support library: make -C gnulib-lib make -C src msgfmt msgmerge xgettext Install the msgfmt, msgmerge and xgettext binaries: cp -v src/{msgfmt,msgmerge,xgettext} /tools/bin
