Bugzilla Bug 198720

 * The specific snippet of code:
 *      emake || die "emake failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   emake failed

The code in interact.c looks like:

#ifdef ENABLE_NLS
        if (!strcmp(s, "-e") || !strncmp(s, "--english", 9)) {
            *force_lang = ENGLISH;
        } else if (!strcmp(s, "-q") || !strncmp(s, "--basque", 8)) {
            *force_lang = BASQUE;
        }
#endif
        else if (!strcmp(s, "-b") || !strncmp(s, "--batch", 7)) {
            opt = OPT_BATCH;

This obviously fails if ENABLE_NLS is undefined.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gretl

fixed in cvs. thanks.

Sorry, now it's failing with:

These functions are missing from gretl_intl.c due to ENABLE_NLS being
undefined.

I took a deeper look at the sources, and there is much to fix to allow full nls
disability. As it seems to be fixed in upstream cvs, I will wait for a future
version to allow nls.

I commited a gretl version that force nls and removed the flag. Re-open the bug
if you see this as a real inconvenience. Thanks.
