On Linux libintl.h and implementations of cunctions declared there are a
part of glibc. On other platforms such as mingw you may need an external
implementation which is not packaged (I don't think we have any other
mingw-targeted libs packaged either).

Hi Andrey,

Before reading your answer I was looking only for deb packages. Then I started searching on other sites and I found this:

https://github.com/savonet/i686-w64-mingw32-buildroot/tree/master/usr/i686-w64-mingw32

Solution: just download 

(*) libintl.h from include and save it on

/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/include/

(*) and libintl.a from lib and save it on

/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/

then compile your code with:

$i686-w64-mingw32-gcc  yourcode.c /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libintl.a -o yourbin

And you're done!

Thanks!

Beco.
