<title>Installation of Gettext</title>

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

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/tools --disable-libasprintf \
    --without-csharp</userinput></screen>

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

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-libasprintf</parameter></term>
<listitem><para>This flag tells Gettext not to build the
<filename class="libraryfile">asprintf</filename> library. Because nothing in this 
chapter or the next requires this library and Gettext gets rebuilt later,
exclude it to save time and space.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--without-csharp</parameter></term>
<listitem><para>This tells Gettext not to use a C# compiler, even if a
C# compiler is installed on the host. This needs to be done because
once we enter the chroot environment, C# will no longer be
available.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>To test the results, issue: <userinput>make check</userinput>.
This takes quite some time, around 7 SBUs. The Gettext test suite is
known to experience failures under certain host conditions, for
example when it finds a Java compiler on the host.  An experimental
patch to disable Java is available from the LFS Patches project at
<ulink url="&lfs-root;patches/"/>.</para>

<para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
