Internationalization and gettext
Patrick Powell

Internationalization is done using the gettext
packages. There are three possibilities to use this
functionality:
a) no internationalization (default)
./configure
b) nationalization if system supports it and gettext installed
on your system:
./configure --enable-nls
You may discover that system support for NLS has been put into
/usr/local/{include,lib}. Sometimes the C compiler does not
search these directories by default and you will need to use:
configure 'CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include' \
'LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib' --enable-nls
How to Install the gettext software:
1. Get the gettext distribution and install it on your local system
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gettext-<version>
Unpack it by using:
tar zxvf gettext-<version>.tgz
cd gettext-<version>
Read the documentation. It is pretty straight forward with
respect to installation.
2. Create and/or update the configuration information using the
CREATE_CONFIGURE script in the source directory:
sh CREATE_CONFIGURE
