* gettext-tools/examples/po/xsmallpot.sh: Ignore a 'make' failure in the hello-ruby example. * gettext-tools/examples/po/hello-ruby.pot: New generated file.
This directory contains simple examples of the use of GNU gettext.
Each example is a simple "hello world" program with a very small message
catalog, written in a particular programming language for a particular
environment.

hello-c-gnome2 C GNOME 2 (obsolete)
hello-c-gnome3 C GNOME 3.10 or later

Before building an example, you need to
1. Build and install the GNU gettext package, as described in the INSTALL
file.
2. cd to the example and do
./autogen.sh
3. Then you can build the example as usual:
./configure --prefix=/some/prefix
make
make install
and see it work by executing
/some/prefix/bin/hello
The po/ directories of the examples use different binary catalog formats and
Makefile types:

The Makefiles in the po/ directories make use of the variable assignment
operator != standardized by POSIX:2024
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/make.html>.
They thus require a 'make' implementation that supports this operator !=.
As of 2024, these are: GNU make >= 4.0, FreeBSD make, NetBSD make,
OpenBSD make. This means that building on specific platforms requires
use of GNU make:
- On macOS, use /opt/homebrew/bin/gmake.
- On Solaris 11 OpenIndiana, use /usr/bin/gmake = /usr/gnu/bin/make.
- On Solaris 11.4, install GNU make yourself.
- On AIX, use /opt/freeware/bin/make.
