Bug ID: 365917
Summary: ki18n fails to link on musl libc due to
_nl_msg_cat_cntr
Product: frameworks-ki18n
Version: 5.24.0
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: caslav.i...@gmx.net
Reporter: awil...@adelielinux.org
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
We're trying to package KDE Plasma 5 for our new distribution Adélie Linux,
based on the musl libc. The musl libc provides libintl (similar to glibc) but
does not use the same internals, so even though we are using the GNU gettext
(__USE_GNU_GETTEXT = 1), the libintl included with the libc does not define
_nl_msg_cat_cntr (nor does it need it).
There is no preprocessor definition for musl (as it is an attempt to be a
strictly compliant POSIX C library - see
http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_why_is_there_no_MUSL_macro_.3F for info)
so it should likely be a CMake test to determine if the symbol is available.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use musl libc.
2. Attempt to build ki18n.
Actual Results:
/usr/src/kde-frameworks/ki18n-5.24.0/work/ki18n-5.24.0/src/kcatalog.cpp:177:
undefined reference to `_nl_msg_cat_cntr'
Expected Results:
Successful build.
