So I think I have found something significant.
I have three editions of gettext on my system:
/usr/bin/gettext.exe (msys), the /mingw64/bin one, and /the
mingw32/bin one.
When I run the /mingw64/bin executable, strace shows that it is
looking for config files in /usr/share/gettext/its (which doesn't
exist) instead of looking for /mingw64/share/gettext/its (which
does exist) or /mingw64/share/gettext-0.19.8/its (which also
exists). Was it built with a wrong prefix possibly?
Any ideas?
$ /usr/bin/gettext.exe --version
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.19.7
...
$ /mingw64/bin/gettext.exe --version
gettext.exe (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.19.8.1
...
$ /mingw32/bin/gettext.exe --version
gettext.exe (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.19.8.1

0.19.7 on mingw64 behaved same.

C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\xgettext.exe: warning: file

Same command in msys2 window gives basically the same error:
xgettext: warning: file
'../templates/gtkbuilder.bulkspellingdialog.xml' extension 'xml'
is unknown; will try C
Same command on Ubuntu 16.04 (xgettext 0.19.7) runs this command
just fine and produces output.
Any ideas? 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.
