Hi,
I tried to compile Git in Mac OS X Leopard, because I was unable to
find any precompiled binaries. However, the compilation was aborted
due to the following error:
msgfmt --statistics --tcl po/de.po -l de -d po/
make[1]: msgfmt: Command not found
make[1]: *** [po/de.msg] Error 127
make: *** [all] Error 2
It seems that the makefile uses an application called msgfmt that
is not available in Mac OS X Leopard. What is application msgfmt
and why it is required? Is there any kind of workaround available?
Regards Sami Maisniemi
Install macports if you haven't and then
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install git-core
macports should manage all the dependencies needed by the packages
including gettext which provides msgfmt, After that you can git
clone the lastest git.git if you want to mess with git and it should
compile without any problem.
