The Gettext package contains utilities for internationalization and localization. These allow programs to be compiled with Native Language Support (NLS), enabling them to output messages in the user's native language. Estimated build time: &gettext-time; Estimated required disk space: &gettext-compsize; &aa-gettext-down; &aa-gettext-dep;   Prepare Gettext for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr Compile the package: make This package has a test suite available which performs a number of checks to ensure it will function correctly. It's worth noting that Gettext does not play a critical role in the overall operation of an LFS system. In addition, the Gettext test suite runs for quite a long period of time. Accordingly, the running of the test suite here is not crucial. Should you choose to run the Gettext test suite, the following command will do so: make check And install the package: make install &aa-gettext-shortdesc; &aa-gettext-desc;
