-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Andrew Smith on 8/9/2007 12:34 AM: > They compile and install and run fine.

They are indeed binary, but they ARE portable, as the file layout is specifically machine-independent. Read up on .gmo files in the gettext manual. When you install an internationalized package, it is the .gmo file that gets placed into the locale directory (renamed to .mo); the gettext() function is more efficient operating on a binary file than it would be on the source .po that generated it. > > Would someone share why this may be happening and what I can do to avoid > it? You don't want to avoid it, otherwise your package would not have i18n support. > Also I just noticed a make clean doesn't delete the .gmo files. How about 'make distclean'? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
