gettext.h

gettext.h

[Joe Buehler]

A response from a Cygwin developer (below) says that gettext.h should not be used,
rather, the proper header file is libintl.h.  So I guess getopt.c needs a change
of some sort.  The symbol _LIBC is not defined for Cygwin, so it tries to use
gettext.h, yet it should be using libintl.h, as if _LIBC were set.

They should not be looking for it.  The correct include file for gettext internationalization is "libintl.h".

gettext.h is an internal header file; it ships with the gettext-devel package in /usr/share/gettext/intl as
part of the source code archive needed for proper 'gettextize' operation.

I think the current CVS head already has this fixed: the offending
fragment of getopt.c os ifdef'ed away.

For the moment I have simply commented out that #include.  I verified
that that works on GNU/Linux.

I do not want to learn enough about Windows or Cygwin to think about
what's right to do here for them; I'll just leave it to people who
maintain Emacs on Windows to handle this.
