Porting problem on V5 with gettext/libintl

[Kevin Oberman]

I am attempting to port the current release of GnomeMeeting to FreeBSD
and especially FreeBSD V5. I am not a C++ programmer and not much of a C
programmer, so I am not surprised that I'm having a problem.

I have one module that uses gettext and I am getting errors on the
inclusion of the libintl.h header file.

In file included from main_window.cpp:71:
/usr/local/include/libintl.h:118: error: expected unqualified-id before "const"

The exact lines in the header file are very similar:
118: extern char *gettext (const char *__msgid)
       _INTL_ASM (libintl_gettext);

134: extern char *dgettext (const char *__domainname, const char *__msgid)
       _INTL_ASM (libintl_dgettext);

152: extern char *dcgettext (const char *__domainname, const char *__msgid,
			int __category)
       _INTL_ASM (libintl_dcgettext);

233: extern char *textdomain (const char *__domainname)
       _INTL_ASM (libintl_textdomain);

251: extern char *bindtextdomain (const char *__domainname, const char *__dirname)
       _INTL_ASM (libintl_bindtextdomain);

259: extern char *bind_textdomain_codeset (const char *__domainname,
				      const char *__codeset)
       _INTL_ASM (libintl_bind_textdomain_codeset);

I do notice that all are #ifdefed to compile when _INTL_REDIRECT_INLINE
is not defined.

Any idea what this is caused by? Do I need to include some things before
including it? It clearly works OK on Linux, so it's either a gcc 3.4
issue or a Linuxism nd I would suspect that it would have popped up on
other ports.

Any clues?

Thanks!
