6.11.1. Installation of Gettext Libintl

The libintl library it used for internationalization support in other packages.

Prepare Libintl for compilation: 

cd gettext-runtime/
env CC="gcc -nointl -fno-stack-protector -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" \
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib \
    --with-included-gettext --disable-static

The meaning of the configure option:

--with-included-gettext

This option tells the build to use the included version of gettext functions.

Compile the package: 

make -C intl/

Install Libintl: 

make -C intl/ install
rm -v /lib/libintl.so
ln -vsf ../../lib/libintl.so.8 /usr/lib/libintl.so
