Summary

0003144: App configure scripts will not link in/include libintl under buildroot/resulting toolchain

Description

I have noticed this on many programs now: buildroot fails to compile many programs looking for libintl_gettext and the solution is to manually configure those programs to do CPPFLAGS=-Iintl and LDFLAGS=-lintl every time. This is happening to me in both buildroot as well as the resulting filesystem's toolchain. I have seen it in grep, util-linux, and many others. If uClibc does not provide gettext, and buildroot builds GNU gettext because of that fact, why do none of the configure scripts I use actually link up to libintl correctly? I don't know if buildroot is screwing up libintl somehow or if the uClibc is the problem, but if I do ./configure CPPFLAGS=-Iintl and LDFLAGS=-lintl it almost always seems to work. After that, however, util-linux complains about bcopy:

gcc -Os -pipe -march=i486 -lintl -o fdisk fdisk.o disksize.o fdiskbsdlabel.o fdisksgilabel.o fdisksunlabel.o fdiskaixlabel.o i386_sys_types.o partname.o
