Hi,

Config file generation with grub-mkconfig fails on Linux when grub is not installed in the same prefix as gettext, since the script util/grub.d/10_linux.in contains:

. ${bindir}/gettext.sh

A possible patch is given below, but there are surely other ways to deal with it. The patch simply falls back to echo instead of gettext if the gettext binary cannot be found.

Thanks for your time,

Grégoire
