sdesc: "GNU Internationalization library and core utilities (PLUS LINK LIBS)" ldesc: "The GNU gettext package provides a set of tools and documentation for producing multi-lingual messages in programs. Tools include a set of conventions about how programs should be written to support message catalogs, a directory and file naming organization for the message catalogs, a runtime library which supports the retrieval of translated messages, and stand-alone programs for handling the translatable and the already translated strings. Gettext provides an easy to use library and tools for creating, using, and modifying natural language catalogs and is a powerful and simple method for internationalizing programs. This package provides the main gettext executables, and the LINK libraries. Ordinarily, LINK libs (.dll.a and .a) would go into the 'gettext-devel' or even 'libintlX-devel' packages, but Bruno Haible, the official maintainer for the GNU gettext package, recommends that the LINK libs be included with the main executables -- even on cygwin, in violation of our normal cygwin packaging standard. Sorry for any confusion that may be caused by this." category: Devel Libs requires: cygwin libintl3 libiconv2
