hi

Has someone successfully installed vmware-view-open-client from:

http://code.google.com/p/vmware-view-open-client/

on freeBSD 7.3 or 8.1?

I get this problem on my freeBSD 8.1:

Code: 
dice@molly:~>ll /usr/local/include/libintl.h
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  16647 Aug  3 21:41 /usr/local/include/libintl.h
dice@molly:~>pkg_info -W !$
pkg_info -W /usr/local/include/libintl.h
/usr/local/include/libintl.h was installed by package gettext-0.18.1.1

It's probably looking for devel/gettext. If you have that header file you may need to add a few switches to the ./configure command.
 
Thx I've installed /usr/ports/devel/gettext and /usr/ports/science/libint from ports:
Code: 
# pkg_info | grep gettext
gettext-0.18.1.1    GNU gettext package
p5-gettext-1.05_3   Message handling functions
# pkg_info | grep libint
libint-1.1.4        Evaluate the integrals in modern atomic and molecular theor
but still doesn't help:
Code: 
checking libintl.h usability... no
checking libintl.h presence... no
checking for libintl.h... no

What's wrong?
 
As I said, sometimes you need to add switches to ./configure so it looks in the right place for header files and libraries.
 
Look at the vmware ports in /usr/ports/emulators/. While not exactly the same thing, they may do things the way this new software needs.

My bad. Looking at the compiling requirements, you need textproc/intltool not devel/p5-Locale-libintl. The compiling page shows all of the requirements:

Code: 
Package	Min. Version	Ubuntu Package	MacPorts Package
Boost	 1.34.1	 libboost-dev	 boost
Gtk+	 2.4.0	 libgtk2.0-dev	 N/A
LibXML	 2.6.0	 libxml2-dev	 N/A
OpenSSL	 0.9.8	 libssl-dev	 N/A
cURL	 7.16.0	 libcurl4-openssl-dev	 N/A
icu	 3.8	 libicu-dev	 icu
intltool	 0.21	 intltool	 intltool

You may have to set some switches as SirDice said since there is no mention of FreeBSD compatibility. Good luck!

Strange I've deinstalled devel/p5-Locale-libintl and installed textproc/intltool, but this problem still exists:

Since it is for Linux with no mention of FreeBSD compatibility, I wonder if the build script is looking for libintl.h in the wrong path. I think that is what you need to use with ./configure. I have no idea how to do that though. You might try going through ./configure to see where it is looking for libintl.h.
 
The default path for searching include files is just /usr/include, you'll have to somehow tell configure to add /usr/local/include to the search path.
