Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] build: add libintl dependency to meson and the .pc file

In order to use gettext on systems where it is not part of libc, the correct linker flags are needed in libalpm.pc (for static compilation). This has never been the case.

The new meson build system currently only checks for ngettext in libc, but does not fall back to searching for the existence of -lintl; add it to the libalpm dependencies.

From that pull request, I can see the patch has been tested in the land of MSYS2, so all good.
