That does work, thanks.

I do, from Ports, which is as MSGFMT is defined.  Why the configure
script doesn't pick that up for GMSGFMT as well I'm not sure.

It does work just fine the way it is from Ports, and GMSGFMT is defined
correctly in the po/Makefile that results, although seemingly not by any
post-download patching. Diffing the configure scripts yields no useful
information, at least to my eyes, although the version built from Ports
does come from the 0.11 release, so it's a bit older perhaps?

So in short I'm not sure why it's not being detected, but making
GMSGFMT point to /usr/local/bin/msgfmt effectively solves it.  For
convenience sake, you can also define an environment variable GMSGFMT
which causes that value to be inserted into the Makefile.

Thanks.
