Subject: Compiling Git in Mac OS X Leopard
Message-ID: <E9380AA8-2E38-4733-9940-FFD51BB84700@maisniemi.net>

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?
