<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If the messages never get
localized, there is no need to keep them in a separate catalog file (which is
different, and generated differently on each platform). Instead, we can simplify
our lives by sticking all the messages in an array of strings in a header file.
Then, there would be no need to run the preprocessing step of generating the
catalog. We can also simplify and/or remove some of the code that does message
lookups as well – that code needs some work anyway, even if we don’t do
anything else, because it generates gazillions of warnings on g++ 4.1 and
higher, due to not being const correct. I can volunteer for that work (of
course we have to figure out what exactly to do about it first).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When generating our FDO message catalogue files on Linux we
use the following Makefile.am specification which in turn relies on mkcatdefs
and gencat. However on OSX, mkcatdefs is not available. Are there any
suggestions out there on how we can modify the message catalogue compilation
process to work with OSX?<o:p></o:p></p>
