Problem building on OSX

[Dave Stewart <dstewart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks!

I'm actually trying to build Wireshark on a Mac mini running OSX 10.4.10, but to do that I have to first build GTK2. So far, I'm not even that far.

I've grabbed pkg-config and gettext and have successfully built both of them in the /usr/local/bin directory. Trying to build glib2 though always results in the same problem:

...

checking for LC_MESSAGES... yes

checking libintl.h usability... yes

checking libintl.h presence... yes

checking for libintl.h... yes

checking for ngettext in libc... no

checking for bindtextdomain in -lintl... yes

checking for ngettext in -lintl... yes

checking for dgettext in -lintl... yes

checking for bind_textdomain_codeset... yes

checking for msgfmt... no

configure: error:

*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the

*** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

The config.log file always shows the same problem:

  $ ./configure PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config GETTEXT_PACKAGE=/usr/local/bin/gettext

No matter what I try, I run into this same problem. Tried building with gcc3.3, gcc4.0, sending arguments to find gettext and trying to discover what linker flags might make it go - all always end up with this same exact error. I get that's it's a linker issue, running into an undefined symbol (_libintl_ngettext), but isn't that supposed to be in gettext?

What piece of the puzzle am I missing??? What am I doing wrong???
