<title>Installation of Gettext</title>

<para>Prepare Gettext for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/tools</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile the programs:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
checks to ensure it built correctly. However, the Gettext test suite here in
Chapter 5 is known to experience failures under certain host conditions -- for
example, if it finds a Java compiler on the host. The Gettext test suite takes
a very long time to run and is not considered critical. Therefore, we don't
recommend running it here. Should you choose to run it, the following command
will do so:</para>

<screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen>

<para>And install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
