Personally I made the ports of gettext-0.10.35. It works with a2ps, windowmaker(I tested with Korean(ko_KR.EUC) locale).

Yes, libc has catget(). When I make gettext ports, I added a --with-catgets switch when configuration process. It works and can pass all tests, but some application gettextized still need libintl.a(and libintl.h). a2ps-4.10.3 works with --with-catgets, but windowmaker(0.17.5) fails... And, I looked your gettext ports(misc/gettext). I prefer add --program-prefix=g switch because we have xgettext and msgfmt already in X. It is hard to find gxgettext or gmsgfmt(maybe we try to modify `configure' script in every ports using GNU gettext), but renaming need to work in every PATH combination.... -- ----Cool FreeBSD!----MSX Forever!---J.U.N.K.E.R/Beat Snatchers!---- CHOI Junho http://jazz.snu.ac.kr/~junker Distributed Computing System Lab,CS Dept.,Seoul National Univ., ROK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
