I believe the above is a bug in StuffIt Expander (the default archive
expander in OSX) - any .po.bz2 file I try to expand produce an empty
folder. (OSX Panther 10.3.9)


For reference here's how I successfully compile SVN HEAD on OSX 10.3.9
with full translations support.

Configure with these variables:

  env CC="gcc -no-cpp-precomp" CFLAGS="-O3" ./autogen.sh \
       --with-included-gettext \
       --enable-nls \
       --enable-client=gtk2 \
       --prefix=/Users/<your_username>/freeciv-devel


After make and install: To start in for example German locale, start with...

  LANG=de_DE civ

Note that I use the _full_ language code, otherwise I get that GTK
warning about unsupported locale (it seems to be working in any case
though.)

The packages used is those that darwinports build for me when installing
it's Freeciv 2.0.x package.

Hope the OSX build of the next major version will be able to support
localizations out of the box!
