[Monotone-devel] Build failure on MacOS X

[William Uther]

Hi all,

  I notice that the current head fails to build the documentation on  
MacOS X if you're using the fink package manager for your  
dependencies.  The problem is that the fink package manager has an  
ancient version of gettext (0.14) and its version of xgettext doesn't  
handle the '--package-name' option.  The error is below.

  I don't know when they'll get around to using a current version of  
gettext.  I'm currently trying to use the updated packages described  
here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg17761.html

but that might not be an option for everyone (and I don't know if it  
works yet).  It seems that the MacPorts packaging system has a newer  
version of gettext that works, so that might also be an option for some.

Be well,

Will       :-}
