I don't think I'd recommend re-gettextizing any package with this version, if you expect the modified package to work on another platform tho. For that, wait until we get the cygwin-dll support into an official libtool(*), and then I'll switch cygwin-gettext completely (instead of only partially) over to libtool-driven build....and THEN I'll try to encourage the REAL gettext people to update their libtool scripts to the (then current) libtool... My goal for THIS release was just to allow packages -- like gcc-3.1 -- which are maintained on non-cygwin platforms, to work okay with -- and even link with -- a cygwinized installed version of gettext. e.g. ensure that libintl.a, libintl.h, and cygintl-1.dll play well with others; but not (yet) gettextize. Previously, "playing well with others" was not really the case. It only kinda sorta worked sometimes. Blech. (*) which is a long process, many steps between where we are now and that. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
