[Solved] llibintl.h not appearing when building a PKGBUILD

nikolaizombie1 · 2025-01-09 17:15:51

I'm packaging my Rust application to the AUR. However, when I try to build it using makepkg, I get linker errors stating there is a "undefined reference to `libintl_gettext'". This is in spite of the fact that the package that provides 'llibintl.h', gettext, is in the makedepends of the PKGBUILD. What could be done about this issue?

You'll need a flux compensator to travel back into a time where libintl was relevant.

What calls libintl_gettext? Your code or some dependency?

In the code I'm using gettext-rs for translations and it calls libintl.h for gettext support.

Your problem isn't the header, you'd need to link a .so that defines that symbol but fwict such thing no longer exists anywhere.

https://github.com/gettext-rs/gettext-r … gettext-rs ?
How exactly do you install that (it's not in the repos nor the AUR?)

I compile it using cargo just fine on my machine. It's when I try to convert the application to a PKGBUILD it no longer compiles as it normally would. I suspect it's using the library that gettext is using on my machine but the fact that it does not compile in PKGBUILD form is bizarre.

https://github.com/gettext-rs/gettext-r … ettext-sys enable the gettext-system feature of the gettext-sys crate or set the environment variable `GETTEXT_SYSTEM` such as with:

  GETTEXT_SYSTEM= cargo build --frozen --release --all-features

Edit:
Also appears to be missing call to cd at the start of package and the locales are not being installed under $pkgdir.

That worked. Thank you so much. I was pulling my hair out. Also thanks for the locales tip.
