Great: I finally found it as you said in in MSYS2: libintl.a (and libintl.h too)

But that doesn't seem sufficient: when I compile and link a simple program calling gettext(), I get a linking error :

Program:

#include "libintl.h"


int main() {
  gettext("abc");
}

Compiling:

C:\Users\Moi\strawberry-perl-5.28.1.1-64bit-portable\Moi\test>gcc -o t
+est test.c
C:\Users\Moi\AppData\Local\Temp\ccCWWHXa.o:test.c:(.text+0x15): undefi
+ned reference to `libintl_gettext'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm puzzled for now...

BTW, the module I want to get working is Locale::gettext which does exactly what I need under Linux and macOS.

I tried the Gido's pure Perl version of Locale::gettext_pp but his code doen't understand the windows pseudo-locale so it doesn't work.

PS: before, I hated Windows but I think now I abhor it! :-(
