<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>

<para>The meaning of the configure options:</para>

<variablelist>
<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>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>
