Hi. I hope this is the right place to report gettext bugs.
On a MacBook Pro (with Intel Core 2 Duo processor) with Mac OS X
10.4.9, a GUI dialog box containing the following error appears twice
during the configuration phase of gettext 0.16.1:

EXC_ARITHMETIC (0x0003)
EXC_I386_DIV (divide by zero)
Thread 0 Crashed:
0 main + 56
1 _start + 216
2 start + 41
I do not see a GUI error box appear when configuring gettext 0.16.1
on Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a PowerBook G4 (with PowerPC G4 processor),
though it's possible the machine configurations differ slightly.
It would be better if no GUI dialog boxes appeared during the
configuration of command-line software. I don't think any other
software I've compiled on this MacBook Pro has popped up GUI error
boxes while being compiled.
Granted, I don't suppose gettext is explicitly asking for a GUI error
box. However, gettext is asking for a program to run which divides by
zero, a condition which Mac OS X apparently intercepts and displays a
GUI error box about, and it is this running of a program that divides
by zero which I would recommend against.
If this problem is already known, and there is a public bug database
where I could have found it, please let me know where it is. The only
bug database I found was this one, and the bug does not seem to be
reported there:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gettext
If this is a mailing list I'm writing to, please Cc me on replies.
Thanks.
