If you also don't have that, it will fail. Running with "make V=1" makes this more obvious, since it shows the fallback command name instead of "MSGFMT". If you don't need git-gui at all, the simplest thing is to just run "make NO_GETTEXT=1 NO_TCLTK=1". That's what I do, and I have neither msgfmt nor gettext on my system. If you do need git-gui, you'll probably need to make sure your tcl install works (and has tclsh in the path). -Peff
