    <title>Installation of Gettext</title>

    <para>For our temporary set of tools, we only need to build and install
    three programs from Gettext.</para>

    <para>Prepare Gettext for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="configure">cd gettext-tools
EMACS="no" ./configure --prefix=/tools --disable-shared</userinput></screen>

    <variablelist>
      <title>The meaning of the configure option:</title>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>EMACS="no"</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>This prevents the configure script from determining where to
          install Emacs Lisp files as the test is known to hang on some hosts.
          </para>

      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>--disable-shared</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>We do not need to install any of the shared Gettext libraries at
          this time, therefore there is no need to build them.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

    </variablelist>

    <para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="make">make -C gnulib-lib
make -C src msgfmt
make -C src msgmerge
make -C src xgettext</userinput></screen>

    <para>As only three programs have been compiled, it is not possible to run the
    test suite without compiling additional support libraries from the Gettext
    package. It is therefore not recommended to attempt to run the test suite at
    this stage.</para>

    <para>Install the <command>msgfmt</command>, <command>msgmerge</command> and
    <command>xgettext</command> programs:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">cp -v src/{msgfmt,msgmerge,xgettext} /tools/bin</userinput></screen>
