I have zh_CN in my LINGUAS in make.conf. I just tried to emerge gtk+-1.2.10-r11 and it gives me an error while compiling. checking for iswalnum... yes checking if iswalnum() and friends are properly defined... yes updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating gtk+.spec creating docs/gtk-config.1 creating Makefile creating gtk-config creating po/Makefile.in creating docs/Makefile creating gdk/Makefile creating gtk/Makefile creating gtk/gtkfeatures.h creating gdk.pc creating gtk+.pc creating config.h make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gtk+-1.2.10-r11/work/gtk+-1.2.10' Making all in po make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gtk+-1.2.10-r11/work/gtk+-1.2.10/po' PATH=../src:$PATH /usr/bin/xgettext --default-domain=gtk+ --directory=.. \ --add-comments --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ \ --files-from=./POTFILES.in \ && test ! -f gtk+.po \ || ( rm -f ./gtk+.pot \ && mv gtk+.po ./gtk+.pot ) make[2]: *** No rule to make target `zh_CN.gmo', needed by `all-yes'.

ERROR: x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r11 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 54, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add zh_CN to make.conf 2.emerge -avt gtk+ (make sure its that version) 3. Actual Results: err.. gtk+ wasn't compiled. Expected Results: emerged gtk+ Removing zh_CN from make.conf allowed me to compile and install gtk+ successfully, but i should still submit the bug report incase anyone else actually really needs Chinese support and might get this problem. Good luck
