Re: bind_textdomain_codeset error while building gnomevfs

[Robert Staudinger <robert stereolyzer net>]

I'm having exactly the same problem on my recent stable potato.
I don't know what causes this; this is how I got it working:
- add --with-gnu-ld to your CONFIGURE_ARGS in gar.conf.mk
- add the path to your libgettextlib.so to your LDFLAGS in gar.conf.mk 
(/opt/gnome2/lib/libgettextlib.so in my case)

However this didn't work for all of the packages so here's what I did 
with the failing ones:
- make clean in the base directory of the packages source tree
- make sure that libgettextlib.so is in LDFLAGS as described above
- make sure that your new gnome's bin directory is in the PATH
- make sure that your new gnome's lib directory is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- grep the configure args out of config.log for the respective package 
and reconfigure
- make && make install

Ok it was pretty much work since a lot of packages depend on gettext but 
it's absolutely worth it!

HTH,
Robert
