Problem building 'po' in 1.1.25

[simon wood]

Hi all,
I've got a problem building gimp-1.1.25. 'Configure' seems to run through OK but
it fails in the 'po' (and 'po-libgimp' if I skip 'po').
I have successively built 1.1.22 in the past, but it appears to skip the make
in 'po'.

I've started with 1.1.22 source and patched it up to 1.1.25.

Offensive bit in po/Makefile is:
GMSGFMT = PATH=../src:$$PATH no
MSGFMT = no
snip
.po.gmo:
file=$(srcdir)/`echo $* | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
   rm -f $$file  $(GMSGFMT) -o $$file $  

After typing 'make':
Making all in po
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/packages/gimp-1.1.25/po'
file=./`echo ca | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
   rm -f $file  PATH=../src:$PATH no -o $file ca.po
/bin/sh: no: command not found
make[2]: *** [ca.gmo] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/gimp-1.1.25/po'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/gimp-1.1.25'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

It's possible that I need to install something else on the system but don't
really know where to start.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Simon Wood.

Seems your system is missing "msgfmt" command. Try

$ locate msgfmt

and if it exists try hand carving it in the Makefile. For example i have it in
/usr/bin/msgfmt. Or maybe you can try --disable-nls option when executing the
configure script. BTW, as far as i know, msgfmt is distributed with and is a
part of GNU gettext utility. I hope this helps.
