7.7.1. Installation of Gettext

For our temporary set of tools, we only need to install three programs from Gettext.

Compile the package:

make LIBINTL=MUSL prefix=/usr

Install the msgfmt, msgmerge, and xgettext programs:

cp -v {msgfmt,msgmerge,xgettext} /usr/bin

Details on this package are located in Section 8.35.2, “Contents of Gettext.”
