Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/11 v3] Rework the gettext handling
Quoted 3 lines · Yann E. MORIN

- fix conversion to autotools to always build libintl, even if locales are disabled, to fix packages that always require NLS
- thus removed Arnout's Tested-by on patch 5/11, as it has changed

Goes to show how valuable my testing was :-(

How about finding and fixing the packages that require NLS?

But then, Samuel's remark becomes valid: if ENABLE_LOCALE is not true,
then libintl won't be built, so the -lintl becomes invalid. In fact, I would think that packages that select BR2_NEEDS_EXTERNAL_GETTEXT should actually depend on ENABLE_LOCALE... Or usually they should be ..._IF_LOCALE instead. For instance, I tried util-linux and it builds perfectly without locale and gettext.

Any chance of testing if the cases that have gettext without -if-locale
can be replaced with gettext-if-locale?

Regards,
Arnout
