Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2001-05-15 16:10:10 UTC
Hm, it builds fine with the 7.1 gettext. Trond, has gettext changed significantly
in this regard?

Comment 2 Håvard Kvålen 2001-05-16 19:43:12 UTC
The strings it fails on are input strings.  These are in ISO-8859-1 and does
indeed contain sequences that are not legal EUC-JP.

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-05-16 19:50:10 UTC
Yes, gettext has changed significantly wrt. handling of Japanese (multibyte) -
to use the old style, use  OLD_PO_FILE_INPUT=yes

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2001-06-19 20:25:09 UTC
This should be fixed in the current rawhide xmms (1.2.4-16)
