<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>

mkcatdefs for OSX and generated the message file on my Mac. I forgot how I did

(at least on OSX) is that the Fdo/Nls code has header files which have the same

<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>
