This file explains how to install GNU gettext from a tarball.
(If you have checked out the source code repository, start by reading the
file HACKING instead.)
Prerequisites
=============
Before starting the installation, install the prerequisites listed in the
file DEPENDENCIES. You need to have at least those marked as 'Mandatory'
installed.
Installation
============
Then, you can run 'configure':
$ mkdir build/ && cd build
$ ../configure
Here, you can give as arguments to 'configure'
- configure options, as listen in the 'configure --help' output,
- Makefile variable assignments for building the binaries, as
described in the INSTALL.generic file.
If you are in a 64-bit multilib system with support for building 32-bit
binaries, you can build 32-bit binaries by configuring like this:
$ ../configure CC="gcc -m32"
You find a set of known-to-work variable settings for various platforms
in https://gitlab.com/ghwiki/gnow-how/-/wikis/Platforms/Configuration .
Finally:
$ make
$ make check
$ make install
