How to install gnu gettext (> 0.15) on windows? Therefore, I can create .po / .mo files in Django

Question

At startup django make messages:

./manage.py makemessages -l pt

I get:

CommandError: Can't find msguniq. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or newer installed.

I tried to install, but the latest version that I find using Instalation Setup is 0.14. Where can I find the latest version and how to install it?

Answer 1

Django removed this explanation from the latest docs, and it took me a while to find it, so I pasted it here before this old documentation goes offline:

Source: Django 1.7 Documentation

Download the following zip files from GNOME servers

• gettext-runtime-X.zip
• gettext-tools-X.zip

X - ( 0,15 )

bin\ (, C:\Program Files\gettext-utils)

PATH:

Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables

"", "", "". C:\Program Files\gettext-utils\bin.

gettext, , , xgettext --version . Django gettext, xgettext --version, Windows, "xgettext.exe Windows".

./manage.py makemessages -l pt
