Title:
  qemu-2.5.1 will not run with gtk3/vte

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Using qemu-2.5.1 and compiling without gtk3 and vte-2.90.

  This works:

  CC="gcc -mtune=generic -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -mtune=generic -Os -pipe
  -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
  --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/local/lib/qemu --interp-
  prefix=/usr/local/share/qemu --audio-drv-list="oss alsa sdl" --target-
  list="i386-softmmu i386-linux-user x86_64-softmmu x86_64-linux-user"
  --smbd=/usr/local/sbin/smbd --disable-curses

  find . -name config-host.mak -type f -exec sed -i 's/-O2//g' {} \;

  make
  sudo make install

  If I then add gtk3 and vte-2.90 development files and compile again,
  this fails with or without --disable-docs:

   sudo make install
  ...
  make -C po install
  make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/qemu-2.5.1/po'
    GEN   tr.mo
  /bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
  Makefile:13: recipe for target 'tr.mo' failed
  make[1]: *** [tr.mo] Error 127
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/qemu-2.5.1/po'
  Makefile:443: recipe for target 'install' failed
  make: *** [install] Error 2

  If I then add gettext and re-compile, "qemu-system-x86_64 -blah-blah"
  opens a window, displays the bios message and stops.

  * configure script should check for gettext
  * if "--disable-docs" is passed, "make install" should not try to install docs
  * qemu should work when compiled with gtk3 and vte
  * why does qemu insist on vte-2.90, when vte-2.91 has been out +/- 2 years?
