[This question ought to have been sent to bug-gettext, not bug-gnulib.] Hi Eric, > Use of PRIuMAX in a translated string produces a .pot file that > refers to the special string <PRIuMAX>, and which requires the > need-formatstring-macros option passed to AM_GNU_GETTEXT in configure.ac > to be universally supported. If I'm reading gettext.git history > correctly, need-formatstring-macros was added in gettext 0.11.4 (commit > 8b45c5df), yes. > but had bugs until 0.17 (commit 4e34b2ac); It had bugs until 0.16, fixed in versions >= 0.16.1 (released on 2006-11-27). > am I missing any details about how to properly use the gettext > formatstring-macros option You invoke AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external], [need-formatstring-macros]) and, on glibc systems, use a glibc newer than 2002. > which gettext versions are supported Versions 0.16.1, 0.17, 0.18.1.1 support need-formatstring-macros.
