Re: [bug-gettext] Pre-release gettext-0.19-rc1

[Michele Locati]

I tried to cross compile for Windows, but it fails.

Here's my setup:

- Clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit (on VirtualBox 4.3.10)

- sudo apt-get install binutils make wget mingw32 mingw32-runtime mingw32-binutils mingw-w64 mingw-w64-i686-dev mingw-w64-x86-64-dev

This command executes fine:

./configure --prefix=/home/m/build-gettext-windows/out-shared-32 --host=i586-mingw32msvc --enable-shared --enable-static CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CCX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ CPPFLAGS=-Wall -I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib

But make fails: here's the tail of its output:

Hi,

The pre-release gettext-0.19-rc1.tar.gz is now available at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/.  The NEWS file in the tarball contains
a list of the changes since 0.18.3.

Since it has some changes to the GNU gettext infrastructure, it would be
nice to see if it still works for your projects after bumping the
required gettext version to 0.19, in configure.ac:

  AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19])

The 0.19 release is planned for this month.  So any feedback would be
highly appreciated.

Regards,
