[Buildroot] [PATCHv2 2/6] gettext: remove support for gettext-tools on target

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Thomas, All,

On 2014-06-01 22:23 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> This commit removes the BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT_TOOLS option, which could
> be used to install gettext tools on the target. This is not needed,
> because Buildroot is not designed to provide a full development
> environment on the target, and gettext translation files should be
> processed on the build machine, using the host gettext tools.
> 
> Remove this option will allow to optimize the build time of gettext on
> the target, by only building the gettext runtime libraries.
> 
> Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
> Tested-by: Andrew Ruder <andrew.ruder@elecsyscorp.com>
