hi,
could someone tell me what is the msgfmt ? and what can I do not to
get the following error:
------------------------
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/cvs/gcc/gcc/po'
file=`echo en_GB | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
  && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH no -o $file en_GB.po
/bin/sh: no: command not found
------------------------
I look into the codesourcery build.log file and there is:
------------------------
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gcc/obj-i386-linux/gcc/po'
file=`echo en_GB | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
  && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH /usr/bin/msgfmt -o $file
../../../gcc/po/en_GB.po
-------------------------
and there is a configure line:
checking for msgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
so may be msgfmt's missing from my linux. what package contain it ?
anyway if it's a configure option it'd be nice to compile without
it, wouldn't it ?
