Built here fine (haven't actually tested much). Just had to cd into os2 and run make twice, first time get
make: *** No rule to make target `out/release/intl.a', needed by `all'.  Stop.
Second time completes fine

Well, you asked a question, and I answered. If you want a more detailed
answer, you need to ask a more precise question :-)

_SLcurses_initscr ought to be in (lib)slang.a
Run "nm slang.a | grep _SLcurses_initscr" and check that you get a line
like this:

00xxxxxx  T  _SLcurses_initscr

The hex digits are not important, but the capital T is. It shows that
_SLcurses_initscr is defined in that module (not E, an external reference)

-lslang should be enough

Subject:   New GNU gettext

There a new version of gettext available here:-

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.11.2.tar.gz

Any chance of this building on OS/2 straight out of the box.

The previous version included OS/2 supported but I didn't get anywhere in 
trying to build it - just ended up on a wild goose chase.

IMV this is one the critical packages for getting a UnixOS/2 distro in 
place because it provides INTL.DLL which is a very common module used by 
many apps.

I don't have this function in slang.a.


Here's a cmd file I used for building it:- 


cd src
setlocal
md \tmpslang
copy mkfiles\mkmake.exe \tmpslang
copy mkfiles\makefile.all \tmpslang
cd \tmpslang
echo mkmake OS2 EMX ^< makefile.all ^>makefile > \tmpslang\slang.bat
\tmpslang\slang.bat
endlocal
copy \tmpslang\makefile 
del \tmpslang\* /n
rd \tmpslang
make


This is run from the SLANG parent directory and produces a 452242 
byte slang.a in src\emxobjs.

Have I missed something out?

Did you also include -lvideo ?

I assume you are using SLANG v1.4.5...

Yes (I think it's needed because objects in slang.a reference functions
from it)

Errr, no, 1.4.1

Ever tried 1.4.5 ?

The last three are missing.

Instead of those last two lines, I have:-

    ar crv $(TARGET) $(OBJS)

Most of the last section is missing.
