Gettext wants to dlopen expat on "linux" platforms. Guix used to fix this, but the fix was removed for some reason in the past, resulting in an xgettext that can't find expat and thus can't handle Glade files. GTK+ 3.16.0 requires xgettext to support Glade files. This patch fixes the issue. Thanks to Ludovic for the tip.

Otherwise libexpat was searched at runtime via dlopen, which obviously doesn't work in a Guix context. --- gnu/packages/gettext.scm | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/gnu/packages/gettext.scm b/gnu/packages/gettext.scm index 27b5fb5..3a96cd6 100644 --- a/gnu/packages/gettext.scm +++ b/gnu/packages/gettext.scm @@ -70,7 +70,15 @@ (substitute* "gettext-tools/src/project-id" (("/bin/pwd") "pwd"))))) - %standard-phases) + (alist-cons-before + 'configure 'link-expat + (lambda _ + ;; Gettext defaults to opening expat via dlopen on + ;; "Linux".
