dxgettext and Windows 10


Has anyone got dxgettext running under Windows 10?

I installed dxgettext from the offical homepage under Windows 10, which worked fine.

But whenever I try to run some of the installed tools (e.g. msgfmt.exe), they don't really run, but call themselves again, generating thousands of processes and making the system crawl.

This is what happens:

I think, I have to replace the gettext tools of the dxgettext package with some newer version but before trying to figure it out I first wanted to ask if someone else experienced similar problems and found a working solution.

My questions:

Has anyone got the tools coming with dxgettext running under Windows 10?

What steps have been necessary to get it to run?


Solution

  • The installer on the official home page is pretty old. Last time I looked it contained several outdated dlls and executables from the original gnugettext project that did not work correctly under recent Windows versions. You could take those from my buildtools repository on OSDN. These work for me. No guarantee that they work for you though.
