What is libintl.h and where can I get it?

Question

Trying to do a make install of git from source, and it keep kicking up the error:

 make install
* new build flags or prefix
CC credential-store.o
In file include         


        

Answer 1

If you don't care about localization and are ok with just English, define NO_GETTEXT in the Makefile

From the Makefile:

Define NO_GETTEXT if you don't want Git output to be translated. A translated Git requires GNU libintl or another gettext implementation, plus libintl-perl at runtime.
