>Description:
When building gdb-5.3 on a (rather minimalist) i386-unknown-freebsd4.7 box, the build fails in <build>/bfd/po with msgfmt: not found
GNU gettext is not installed - and I frankly don't want it to be as this is supposed to be a minimalist system.
>How-To-Repeat:
on a minimal(ist) installation of i386-unknown-freebsd4.7, do
$ tar zjvf gdb-5.3.tar.bz2
$ mkdir gdb-5.3-build
$ cd gdb-5.3-build
$ ../gdb-5.3/configure --prefix=$HOME/opt
$ make
and watch it fail
>Fix:
The only work-around I've found is to change all instances of msgfmt in the Makefile with `true' - not really clean but it works up until the install, where some more Makefile editing is required.
