That's what I first thought, but no, not exactly. btool will stop if the
following files (from gettext-0.17-win32\bin) are not in the devlibs\bin folder:
msgfmt.exe libintl-8.dll libgesttextsrc-0-17.dll libgettextlib-0-17.dll libiconv-2.dll
After copying these file, I've been able to run btool successfully. Thus
I think it's the minimum requirement if we want to use the context C_() macro. But we could also copy all the gettext-0.17-win32\bin content with no risk, so that translators have all the needed tools without having to download gettext.
I encountered that too. Right now I'm trying to build a version of gettext 0.18 that links against intl.dll and iconv.dll from our devlibs, so that the libraries are not duplicated. I also upgraded Python to 2.6.5 and it appears to work correctly.
My only doubt is about the gettext lib and include folders. Do we really
need them?
No, they are not needed, as we use the headers from gettext-runtime that come in the official GTK+ Windows bundle.
I have tried to copy the files as mentioned, but I still get an error (r9450):
Make error line 452: <msgfmt> problem: po/nl.po:18250: keyword "msgctxt" unknown po/nl.po:18250:8: parse error po/nl.po:18255: keyword "msgctxt" unknown po/nl.po:18255:8: parse error po/nl.po:18260: keyword "msgctxt" unknown ...
