20 dnl Macro to add for using GNU gettext.
22 dnl Usage: AM_GNU_GETTEXT([INTLSYMBOL], [NEEDSYMBOL], [INTLDIR]).
23 dnl INTLSYMBOL must be one of 'external', 'use-libtool'.
24 dnl INTLSYMBOL should be 'external' for packages other than GNU gettext, and
25 dnl 'use-libtool' for the packages 'gettext-runtime' and 'gettext-tools'.
26 dnl If INTLSYMBOL is 'use-libtool', then a libtool library
27 dnl $(top_builddir)/intl/libintl.la will be created (shared and/or static,
28 dnl depending on --{enable,disable}-{shared,static} and on the presence of
29 dnl AM-DISABLE-SHARED).
30 dnl If NEEDSYMBOL is specified and is 'need-ngettext', then GNU gettext
31 dnl implementations (in libc or libintl) without the ngettext() function
32 dnl will be ignored. If NEEDSYMBOL is specified and is
33 dnl 'need-formatstring-macros', then GNU gettext implementations that don't
34 dnl support the ISO C 99 <inttypes.h> formatstring macros will be ignored.
35 dnl INTLDIR is used to find the intl libraries. If empty,
36 dnl the value '$(top_builddir)/intl/' is used.
38 dnl The result of the configuration is one of three cases:
39 dnl 1) GNU gettext, as included in the intl subdirectory, will be compiled
41 dnl Catalog format: GNU --> install in $(datadir)
42 dnl Catalog extension: .mo after installation, .gmo in source tree
43 dnl 2) GNU gettext has been found in the system's C library.
44 dnl Catalog format: GNU --> install in $(datadir)
45 dnl Catalog extension: .mo after installation, .gmo in source tree
46 dnl 3) No internationalization, always use English msgid.
47 dnl Catalog format: none
48 dnl Catalog extension: none
49 dnl If INTLSYMBOL is 'external', only cases 2 and 3 can occur.
50 dnl The use of .gmo is historical (it was needed to avoid overwriting the
51 dnl GNU format catalogs when building on a platform with an X/Open gettext),
52 dnl but we keep it in order not to force irrelevant filename changes on the
55 AC_DEFUN([AM_GNU_GETTEXT],
