There is a conditional in the makefile(s): HAVE_MSGFMT = no
but po/Makefile is still trying to call msgfmt. I think it is because po/Makefile is still added to AC_CONFIG_FILES, but this is where my investigation ends and I create a bug report. :)

Concerning gettext in OS X, I got a big warning when installing with homebrew that OS X ships with GNU gettext (or BSD, can't remember which), which is weird since homebrew is pretty modern.

Hmm, yes, it seems that Mac OS X does not include gettext, its the same on my 10.5 install. You can use the old build system in src/configure.ac and get no translations or install gettext and use the new build system. I suppose we need to add gettext detection to the new build system so it'll build without gettext.

Hi all,
I compiled pd vanilla (Miller's git repo) in OS X 10.7 Lion yesterday and ran into (only) a couple hitches.
It seems gettext is missing and this causes the linking to fail because it can't find the msgfmt tool. I got it and compiled pd by doing:
sudo brew install --universal gettext sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.18.1.1/bin/msgfmt/usr/local/bin/msgfmt ./configure CFLAGS="-arch i386" LDFLAGS="-arch i386" make
I don't know much about the gettext tool, but am I wrong in thinking that it should surely be there and blame apple for messing up on a very common unix package?
