HI, I have not previously built an app that uses gettext. The relevant parts of the makefile are:VERSION = 1.16 CFLAGS = -g -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE LDFLAGS += -g alternatives: alternatives.o alternatives.o: alternatives.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -DVERSION=\"$(VERSION)\" -c alternatives.c
what is the linking recipe for "alternatives" or "alternatives$(EXT)"?
I am getting many /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/10/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: /usr/src/alternatives-1.16-1.src/alternatives-1.16-1.x86_64/build/alternatives.c:1389: undefined reference to `libintl_gettext' > messages while linking.
it is defined in libintl.dll.a so LDFLAGS should include -lintl
I have installed the gettext-devel and libgettextpo-devel and libintl-devel packages, but I can't seem to properly rewrite the CFLAGS or LDFLAGS despite several attempts. Can someone recommend a simple cygwin package that uses gettext and the cygintl-8.dll TIA, Doug
