How to build gettext and libintl.so on musl.

Gettext with libintl.so.

After did some trials and errors I found a way to build gettext library + its libintl.so library on musl. I need the library so cosmic-files will work properly. Before I finally built gettext + libintl.so, everytime I build gettext I only get libgnuintl.so instead of libintl.so. Turns out, the solution is pretty simple. I just need to rename libintl.h header file from musl build and boom, gettext build will produce libintl.so instead of libgnuintl.so.

Prepare.

• Musl (obviously).
• gettext, I use 0.24 version.
