ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------
This package has dual support for both mips3 and mips4 architecture, controlled 
by the mach(CPUARCH=R4000) switch for libraries and executables.

For 'make check' to pass, you need to set 'systune -r ncargs 262144' to avoid the 'argument list too long' error message. Also, in order for the gnulib tests to pass, do not compile it on an NFS or it will fail on test-symlink.

The old patch to wchar_h.in in neko_gettext-0.18.1.1 has been implemented in 0.19.8.1 and therefore obsolete.

The expat dependency has been removed as of 0.19.8. libxml2 is suggested if you need support for XML, but an internal static libxml library is compiled into gettext as an alternative. You need the included patch for libxml/trionan.c to compile, as it is missing an include. The patch also fixes some tests programs.

I also removed most of the additional dependencies in previous gettext-tardists. The gettext package is mainly used for localization of GNU-software and is therefore a necessary central dependency for most nekoware packages. It is not served by a large list of sub-dependencies because of possible circular dependencies arising.
