I have an older RedHat 7.3 system, so I've got in the habit of building
rpms from source when possible.
My problem is probably an out-of-date gettext package.
(which didn't stop 0.92.1c from building fine)
Currently using gettext-0.11.1-2.
my build process:
tar xjf gtk-gnutella-0.92.1.tar.bz2
cd gtk-gnutella-0.92.1
./Configure -ders
cd ..
tar czf gtk-gnutella-0.92.1.tar.gz gtk-gnutella-0.92.1
rpm -ta gtk-gnutella-0.92.1.tar.gz

I thought I saw something about xgettext in the mailing list, but I
can't find it now.
[research research ....]
the latest release of gettext (0.11.5) still gives
lt-xgettext: unrecognized option `--from-code=UTF-8'
where did this option come from??!? Which version of what package that
looks like GNU gettext's xgettext supports "--from-code=" ?
As an attempted workaround, I thought I'd try disabling NLS :( The
Configure questionaire is entertaining, but a little tedious.
I'm having difficulty finding the "cryptic defines" to disable NLS
from the command-line. Here's the best try I came up with:
./Configure -Oders -Uenablenls -Unls
It maybe time to add a COMPILING file to gtk-gnutella to describe
useful/relevant metaconfig defines.
(note : I'm not shouting, I'm talking about the standard files you find
in packages e.g. : README, TODO, MANIFEST, LICENSE, AUTHORS, COMPILING )
I know it's probably not necessary as this is all temporary bumpiness.
TIA for any help.
