| This directory contains simple examples of the use of GNU gettext. |
| Each example is a simple "hello world" program with a very small message |
| catalog, written in a particular programming language for a particular |
| environment. |

| Before building an example, you need to |
| 1. Build and install the GNU gettext package, as described in the INSTALL |
| file. |
| 2. cd to the example and do |
| ./autogen.sh |
| 3. Then you can build the example as usual: |
| ./configure --prefix=/some/prefix |
| make |
| make install |
| and see it work by executing |
| /some/prefix/bin/hello |
| |
| The po/ directories of the examples use different binary catalog formats and |
| Makefile types: |

|
| The Makefiles in the po/ directories make use of the variable assignment |
| operator != standardized by POSIX:2024 |
| <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/make.html>. |
| They thus require a 'make' implementation that supports this operator !=. |
| As of 2024, these are: GNU make >= 4.0, FreeBSD make, NetBSD make, |
| OpenBSD make. This means that building on specific platforms requires |
| use of GNU make: |
| - On macOS, use /opt/homebrew/bin/gmake. |
| - On Solaris 11 OpenIndiana, use /usr/bin/gmake = /usr/gnu/bin/make. |
| - On Solaris 11.4, install GNU make yourself. |
| - On AIX, use /opt/freeware/bin/make. |
