gettext on Tru64Unix

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

Hi,
  I've tried to compile current cvs checkout on Tru64Unix to see the
changes related to my previous post working. I think I don't have expected
version of some of the auto* tools:

$ ./autogen.sh
configure.in:76: warning: gl_CHECK_HEADER_stdlib_h is m4_require'd but is not 
m4_defun'd
configure.in:76: warning: gl_CHECK_HEADER_stri_ is m4_require'd but is not 
m4_defun'd
autoheader: `config.h.in' is updated
$

I have:
automake 1.7.2 available as automake,
automake 1.4 as automake-1.4 and automake-1.4-p1,
automake 1.6 as automake-1.6 and automake 1.7 as automake-1.7
and autoconf 2.54 as autoconf


$ ./configure  --prefix=/software/@sys/usr
[...]
checking for working alloca.h... yes
checking for alloca... yes
./configure: gl_CHECK_HEADER_stdlib_h: command not found
./configure: gl_CHECK_HEADER_stri_: command not found
checking for vprintf... yes
checking for _doprnt... yes
[...]

But I've managed to get it compiled. During "make install",
the libintl.so go overwritten and because GNU coreutils like
install(1), cp(1), ln(1) use it, they stopped working.

I had to edit intl/Make tu use installbsd on my platform (Tru64Unix, formerly 
Digital Unix
or OSF1) and prepend /usr/bin to my $PATH.

Maybe there would help some magic in configure.in,
 for example

$ which --version

$ which -a ls
/software/@sys/usr/bin/ls
/usr/bin/ls
$ which ls
/software/@sys/usr/bin/ls
$ whereis ls
ls: /sbin/ls /usr/bin/ls
$ldd /software/@sys/usr/bin/ls

        Main  =>   /software/@sys/usr/bin/ls
        libintl.so.2  =>   /software/@sys/usr/lib/libintl.so
        libiconv.so  =>   /software/@sys/usr/lib/libiconv.so
        librt.so  =>   /usr/shlib/librt.so
        libc.so  =>   /usr/shlib/libc.so
        libexc.so  =>   /usr/shlib/libexc.so
$ ldd /usr/bin/ls

        Main  =>   /usr/bin/ls
        libc.so  =>   /usr/shlib/libc.so
$

So, let's use /usr/bin/ls before we make the system unusable.
