Jay,

You don't need to install gettext on Mac OS X. You can
make the changes below (see notes on autogen.sh for 
building files on your system first) and just invoke
configure on Mac OSX with the --with-included-gettext
option.

$ ./configure --with-included-gettext

However, if you want to install gettext on Mac OSX, you
should do the following:

$ ./configure CPPFLAGS=-traditional-cpp CFLAGS=-D_INTL_REDIRECT_MACROS
$ make
$ sudo make install

Then, in hercules directory you can just run:

$ ./configure

Here are the changes included in PatchOSX-2_17-current:

autogen.sh
	1. Added --copy option on gettextize. 

           This is necessary because it allows a user to
           build hercules without having installed the 
           gettext package. All they would have to do is
           invoke configure with --with-internal-gettext
           option.
 
           You should run autogen.sh on your system. Then,
           after it completes, you should put the m4 and
           intl directories into CVS so that they are
           saved as part of the package. Someone can then
           just co hercules and run configure. voila.

	2. Added -I m4 on the second autolocal call.

           I'm not really sure why the second autolocal
           is necessary, but I left it in. In any case
           you need the -I m4 so that it can find the
           AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro.

config.h.in

	1. Added symbol for HAVE_FREXPL.

	   Mac OS X does not support long double data types. 
	   I took the same approack as for fmodl().

           From /Developer/Documentation/DeveloperTools/\
	      MachORuntime/2rt_powerpc_abi/index.html:

	   "The long double extended-precision type is 16 
	   bytes on classic Mac OS, but GCC for PowerPC
	   currently treats it as 8 bytes, equivalent to a
	   double. A future revision of the compiler may
	   extend long double to 128 bytes. For this reason,
	   it is not currently recommended that you use long
	   double on Mac OS X."

	2. Added symbol for HAVE_STRSIGNAL.

	   Apple messed up here. So I put a check in for 
	   strsignal().

	3. Added symbol for _BSD_SOCKLEN_T_.

	   Hercules actually uses data type socklen_t,
	   which is found in the Apple headers, but it
	   is only defined when _BSD_SOCKLEN_T_ is
	   also defined with a type.

	   This symbol will only be defined for OSX.

	4. Added symbol for _INTL_REDIRECT_MACROS.

	   This time gettext is messed up. To be honest,
	   I don't know how gettext could install on *any*
	   system without this macro unless you manually
	   remove the #define _INTL_REDIRECT_MACROS from
	   intl/intl-compat.c, or build everything with
	   _INTL_REDIRECT_MACROS defined. Of course, the
	   version of gettext I used was downloaded from
	   gnu.org as gettext-0.11.5.tar.gz, and it's
	   possible that another version doesn't have this
	   problem. In any case, on Mac OSX it is required
	   if you get the latest gettext, or if you use the
	   included gettext.

	   This symbol will only be defined for OSX.

configure.ac

	1. Moved AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro further down.

	   Necessary because the darwin checks need to 
	   set CPPFLAGS=-traditional-cpp so that the
	   AM_GNU_GETTEXT works correctly.

	2. Added AC_CANONICAL_HOST at top.

	   Necessary because AM_GNU_GETTEXT used to 
	   ensure $host_os and $host_vendor were
	   defined. But with AM_GNU_GETTEXT moved,
	   we need AC_CANONICAL_HOST to do this.

	3. Added case statement for "darwin*".

	   If vendor is 'apple' then we set the 
	   CPPFLAGS to -traditional-cpp and define
	   the other macros necessary for OS X.

	4. Added 'frexpl' to AC_CHECK_FUNCS.

	5. Added 'strsignal' to AC_CHECK_FUNCS.

	6. Added templages for macros added earlier.

ctc_ctci.c

	1. Bypassed this module, as it's not supported
	   yet on OS X. Since this is a temporary 
	   condition, I used _APPLE_ conditional.

ctc_lcs.c

	1. Bypassed this module, as it's not supported
	   yet on OS X.

ctcadpt.c

	1. Bypassed this module, as it's not supported
	   yet on OS X.

devtype.c

	1. Bypassed all communication devices. 

hercules.h

	1. Relocated <sys/time.h> because of header
	   prequisite conditions. Hopefully, this 
	   doesn't cause a problem on other systems.

	2. Added dummy scsi tape data. The scsi tape
	   is not yet supported on OS X. Used _APPLE_
	   conditional.

ieee.c

	1. Defined frexpl() based on HAVE_FREXPL.

machchk.c

	1. Defined strsignal() based on HAVE_STRSIGNAL.
	   
	   There may be a better place to put this,
	   but rather than creating a prototype for it
	   it seemed easier to put inline. However,
	   the multi-pass compile required it be buried
	   inside one of the pass conditionals.

tapecopy.c

	1. Bypassed all code based on _APPLE_ since
	   scsi tape is not yet suupported on OS X.

tapedev.c

	1. Bypassed all scsi tape code.

tuntap.c

	1. Bypassed entire module. Not yet supported.
