The response from the Gnome folks is that the msgstr does not
necessarily need to be followed by a character string on the same line.
Here is the response:
"The PO format specification, in the GNU gettext manual, does not say
that the msgstr keyword and the string that follows it must be on the
same line. Your
/pkg_comp/obj/pkgsrc/devel/libgnome/default/.tools/bin/msgfmt program
rejects a valid PO file. What version of msgfmt is it? What does
"/pkg_comp/obj/pkgsrc/devel/libgnome/default/.tools/bin/msgfmt --version"
yield?
The GNU AM_PO_SUBDIRS macro (in po.m4) makes sure to not use the Solaris
and FreeBSD 'msgfmt' programs. Are you using this macro?"
By the way, for my system it says:
$ ./.tools/bin/msgfmt --version
msgfmt (GNU gettext) 0.10.35
