From 4caf78882ce0a5046504f94545a98296913f2f25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 21:17:50 +0200 Subject: Improve gettext integration Having a BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT option, as introduced by 54d64798e1e14b526c3cc1142961972cff9f1e8a isn't sufficient to express the different kind of dependencies on gettext. This commit, based on an idea by Peter Korsgaard, introduces two different options : * BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT, which is true as soon as the toolchain doesn't provide gettext itself (i.e, when the toolchain is uClibc based, be it an internal or external toolchain) * BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE, which is true when the toolchain doesn't provide gettext *and* locale support has been enabled in Buildroot. A following commit adds some documentation that details how these configuration variables should be used by packages.
