In Slackware we have two packages, gettext and gettext-tools.

The gettext package basically cd to the gettext-runtime subdirectory and makes 
what it founds there.

See here for details:
http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-14.0/source/a/gettext/

FYI I append content list of both gettext and gettext-tools packages as shipped 
in Slackware 14.0.
(well, more exactly the packages I recently made with the ~ stock SlackBuilds 
scripts but run against gettext-018.2-rc1 source tarball)

HTH,
