[ptxdist] gettext libintl issues

[Alexander Aring]

Hi,

I have some trouble to port some software and getting a "undefined
reference to `textdomain(char const*)'" error.

The textdomain function is a part of libintl, so far as I know.

In file rules/gettext.in is a useless config entry for GETTEXT_LIBINTL.
After I grep GETTEXT_LIBINTL in all configs, this will never used by
any package.

A git log gives no more information about other important changes.

I will try to fix this issue.
Has anybody got the same issue. Or is this still on a TODO list?

Regards
Alex

All the gettext stuff is in a 'It works for me' state. I don't really know
how this stuff is supposed to work. The only package that generates a
libintl is gettext-dummy.

Where do you get the prototype for textdomain() anyways? That's usually a
macro (I think).

I solved it. It's not a problem with gettext... some stupid mistake which
was fixed by rebuild of other libaries. :-)

Anyway I could send patches to remove GETTEXT_LIBINTL in rules/gettext.in
if you like that. This config is never used in other rules or will select
some other configs, ptxdist don't need this config.
