The test programs in src/common/unicode/ (case_test, category_test,
norm_test), don't build with meson if the nls option is enabled, because
a libintl dependency is missing.
(pg_strerror_r() in src/port/strerror.c makes a gettext call, so in that
sense libpgport has a dependency on libintl.)
The makefiles are ok, because they just link all programs against all
libraries that configure finds, more or less, but meson needs explicit
dependencies declared.
I can see a few ways to fix that, so I'm looking for feedback on which
way is best.
1) Add libintl directly to the affected programs, like
case_test = executable('case_test',
['case_test.c'],
- dependencies: [frontend_port_code, icu],
+ dependencies: [frontend_port_code, icu, libintl],
include_directories: inc,
link_with: [common_static, pgport_static],
build_by_default: false,
etc.
2) Add libintl as a dependency of frontend_port_code:

+++ b/meson.build

3) Add libintl to os_deps directly?
4) Change the dependencies of the test programs to something like

Or something else, or some combination?
