msgmerge on macos Catalina

问题

I am trying to run a unix command line for some i18n work on a project. Using gettext library my issue is about running msgmerge

$ msgmerge
zsh: command not found: msgmerge

I tried brew instal gettext and brew link gettext but with no success. This was working well on my previous machine, but can't make it work on a fresh install.

I can confirm binary is available in /usr/local/opt/gettext/bin/msgmerge.

Fixed. When running brew reinstall gettext, command actually give the answer:

If you need to have gettext first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

Export is only triggered when opening a new zsh prompt, PATH was not updated yet and worked when I re-openned a new window.

I tried running this brew link gettext --force, but I was getting:

$ brew install gettext
Warning: gettext 0.20.2 is already installed and up-to-date
To reinstall 0.20.2, run `brew reinstall gettext`

$ brew link gettext --force
Warning: Refusing to link macOS provided/shadowed software: gettext
If you need to have gettext first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

For compilers to find gettext you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/gettext/include"

Then, I just added it to the system path with:

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
