Situation:
- system has gettext & co in libc
- standalone libintl also installed
- <libintl.h> comes from libintl, not libc
Issue:
- libintl.h defines gettext & co with a prefix to avoid
link issues with the symbols in libc
=> gettext.m4 detects this properly by looking for
bindtextdomain in -lintl, BUT does not do anything
with this information other than flagging the
available gettext as GNU.
=> none of the executable link (due to missing references
to libintl_gettext() etc.)
Resolution:
- update gettext.m4 to modern libintl configury
- or, failing that, adjust gettext.m4 as shown below to ensure
INTLLIBS gets set properly. In this case there may remain
issues on systems that have a libintl that requires iconv()
and iconv() is only available from a standalone library
(=> additional -liconv needed in INTLLIBS).
