Rebuild with "NO_MSGFMT=1", or install GNU msgfmt first. The issue is gitk's Makefile is missing the fallback rule that git-gui has, which is use our Tcl based msgfmt work-a-like if msgfmt is not found. That's exactly what you see above; git-gui fell back automatically to its work-a-like but gitk did not. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
