What do you mean?

[andrew_b]

There is no

in the output mc -V. Thus, your mc is built with --disable-nls.

Did you rebuild mc with installed gettext? Please show your config.log.

Yes.

configure can't find libintl.h.

Try to use:

CPPFLAGS='-I /opt/local/include' --prefix=/opt/kroleg/mc --with-screen=ncurses

where /opt/local/include is a directory where libintl.h is.

Thank you very much. MC compiled with support for internationalization.
BTW, for some reason, mc-4.8.22 been compiled with support for internationalization, without this flags.

[andrew_b]

This is a result of #3629.

[zaytsev]

We have been bundling our own gettext in the past, which caused all kinds of problems. Now we require gettext to be installed in the system if internationalisation is required. Note that your build will not be portable with MacPorts? gettext. If you want it to be portable, then build and install gettext in /opt/kroleg, and ship the libraries together with mc.
