Today I've debugged a compile of git 1.5.4.2 failing on OSX Tiger (on
Basilio's machine). The problem is during the git-gui build, in the PO
file handling. Apparently fmtmsg (from fink) segfaults on de.po so the
fix is to say
make NO_MSGFMT=NoneThere
I don't think we can do much about it -- my guess is that fink has
been built and tested in a different OSX release, and happens to go
bellyup on Tiger. Here's a transcript in case it helps anyone.
Here's the tail of the build message, with make called with -d:
GITGUI_VERSION = 0.9.2
* new locations or Tcl/Tk interpreter
GEN git-gui
INDEX lib/
MSGFMT po/de.msg make[1]: *** [po/de.msg] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
Various versions of things involved:
$ dpkg -S /sw/bin/msgfmt
gettext-tools: /sw/bin/msgfmt
$ dpkg -l gettext-tools
(...)
ii gettext-tools 0.10.40-19

Has anyone got any ideas on how to debug this further? I couldn't find
any core files.
