%general-entities; ]> Gettext temporary system Gettext has an issue with cross-compiling where it can't find getline. So we fix it here: echo "am_cv_func_working_getline=yes" >> config.cache Prepare Gettext for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/tools \ --host=${LFS_TARGET} --disable-libasprintf \ --without-csharp --cache-file=config.cache --disable-libasprintf This flag tells Gettext not to build the asprintf library. Because nothing in this chapter or the next requires this library and Gettext gets rebuilt later, exclude it to save time and space. --without-csharp This ensures that Gettext does not build support for the C# compiler which may be present on the host but will not be available when building the final system. Compile the package: make Install the package: make install
