Fixed in local system.  Need to push.

gettext should not be needed? Darren: What failed due to a lack of that?

My solution, install msgfmt via "gettext" package.

This should have been fixed with: http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=1d7c9a9828747f6d58b141af685633d69f896baa

I don't see how, the context still reads:

DEPENDS =+ "gettext"

And it still searches for various gettext provided tools, it just does so without specific PATHs. Did I miss something in that change?

+- AC_PATH_PROG(MSGFMT, msgfmt,, /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/freeware/bin)
++ AC_PATH_PROG(MSGFMT, msgfmt)

i.e. before it searched in the path mentioned above for the tool and after the patch it should find it in the poky native sysroot as it searches PATH unmodified.

Its in the native sysroot since there is "gettext" in DEPENDS and gettext depends on gettext-native so the tools *are* available in the native sysroot.

Oh I see, gettext doesn't have to be installed on the build system itself. Poky builds a native version of it and uses that.

Scott, please omit gettext from the packages I requested to add to the required list.

These packages are now listed in the documentation in the Yocto Project Quick Start.
