The latest one compiles cleanly. OK, I should upgrade that. But when gnome can't run with that, we should have two branches, gettext and gettext-latest or some. And when you needs the latest gettext port very very soon, please send me patch... > - Maybe I should ask it in -hackers: > I think Solaris has gettext in libc.

I don't know what the core team people really think, but FreeBSD has its own locale system so doesn't seem to need gettext natively. ----- Nakai To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
