Hi,
0. fetchmail 5.8.14
1. Solaris 8
2. gcc 2.95.2 (but will happen with 2.7 <= gcc < 3)
I ran into a minor glitch building with ./configure && make.
The link of fetchmail failed because _nl_msg_cat_cntr
was unresolved. It was caused by this, in intl/libgettext.h:
# if defined __GNUC__ && __GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7
/* This global variable is defined in loadmsgcat.c. We need a sign,
whether a new catalog was loaded, which can be associated with all
translations. */
extern int _nl_msg_cat_cntr;
The problem is that Solaris 8 (and 7) provides a libintl
that does not define that symbol. To work around the
problem, I built and linked in fetchmail's own libintl.
I don't know if that's the best way to handle it permanently,
but it does seem to work wll.
Thanks, I think the right answer is just to make sure that .h file
doesn't get shipped in the tarball.
