This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of checks to ensure it built correctly. However, the Gettext test suite here in Chapter 5 is known to experience failures under certain host conditions -- for example, if it finds a Java compiler on the host. The Gettext test suite takes a very long time to run and is not considered critical. Therefore, we don't recommend running it here. Should you choose to run it, the following command will do so:
make check |
And install the package:
make install |
