Sorry, I meant "GNU make" was required (I said gcc). I (or someone)
needs to revise the po/makefile.in to have it generate a makefile that
is more generic. I know there are other make issues, such as the fact
that "make distclean" didn't remove the NetBSD gmo files from that
directory.

It compiles on several UNIX flavors now, so Sun shouldn't be too hard. I
got an earlier run to compile on SLCC, but got no messages.

Once these patches are more widely tested, I expect other user help.

Yes; it may be on SunOS. If not, try building this for reference:
http://www.suse.de/~ke/hello-1.3.18.tar.gz
msgfmt is part of GNU gettext (see your local GNU site for this).
I used hello to figure out how to do international text, then
copied its' rules plus references from CSuite to build by version.

I haven't done this other than root, although it should be feasible
to have LOCALEDIR be under $HOME.

See if hello compiles. There is one Japanese author in the AUTHOR
file who may be able to help you.
