catalog, written in a particular programming language for a particular
environment.

Before building an example, you need to
  1. Build and install the GNU gettext package, as described in the INSTALL
     file.
  2. cd to the example and do
        ./autogen.sh
  3. Then you can build the example as usual:
        ./configure --prefix=/some/prefix
        make
        make install
     and see it work by executing
        /some/prefix/bin/hello
