    <title>Installation of Gettext</title>

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

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

<screen><userinput>cd gettext-tools
./configure --prefix=/tools --disable-shared</userinput></screen>

        <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>make -C lib
make -C src msgfmt</userinput></screen>

    <para>As only one binary has been compiled, it is not possible to run the
    testsuite without compiling additional support libraries from the Gettext
    package. It is therefore not recommended to attempt to run the testsuite at
    this stage.</para>

    <para>Install the <command>msgfmt</command> binary:</para>

<screen><userinput>cp -v src/msgfmt /tools/bin</userinput></screen>
