Summary: minicom gettext changes do not compile on macOS 10.12 
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
Using gcc 4.9 and gettext 0.19.8 from macports. I get an error similar to the following on macOS 10.12 during `make`:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_gettext", referenced from:
      _show_status in main.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

I think the gettext support added by patch in [#315392] might not have been complete; by following the guidelines at https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#integrating_howto I noticed that copying gettext.h (from /opt/local/share/gettext/) to ./lib/ and forcing gettext.h to be included in intl.h by placing
 
#include "gettext.h"
# define _(Text) gettext (Text)

after `# include <locale.h>`, and removing `# define _(Text) Text`, minicom compiles. However I'm not sure that's the proper way to get it working.
