Thanks,
Hi Matthew: One possibility is --language=glade might be a special case where you are up against a soft package dependency error for the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 gettext package. For example, on Debian Jessie the package dependencies of gettext are as follows: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libffi6 (>= 3.0.4), libpcre3 (>= 1:8.35), libselinux1 (>= 1.32), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.2) Recommends: libglib2.0-data, shared-mime-info, xdg-user-dirs Some of those are not mentioned in <https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/gettext/PKGBUILD>. I am not sure whether any of those unmentioned dependencies are relevant to --language=glade support, but just in case one of them is, I suggest you try installing the corresponding MinGW-w64/MSYS2 package (assuming it exists) just in case that might make a difference to --language=glade support. Note, I am just lurking on this list at the moment with no practical experience (yet) using MinGW-w64/MSYS2. And I have no experience using xgettext. So I am relying solely on my package dependency expertise in answering you, and you should keep that caveat in mind. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
