Hi,

I tried to compile Git in Mac OS X Leopard, because I was unable to find any precompiled binaries. However, the compilation was aborted due to the following error:

msgfmt --statistics --tcl po/de.po -l de -d po/ make[1]: msgfmt: Command not found make[1]: *** [po/de.msg] Error 127 make: *** [all] Error 2

It seems that the makefile uses an application called msgfmt that is not available in Mac OS X Leopard. What is application msgfmt and why it is required? Is there any kind of workaround available?
