Error compiling on FreeBSD (ld: error: undefined symbol: libintl_gettext)

Hello,
I get this error when trying to compile on FreeBSD against PostgreSQL 14. I have gettext installed on the system.

I got some more information from the port maintainer of an older version of repmgr (5.2), apparently, an old version of gettext is required. If so, which one does this need?
Hi.
Yes I have also tried this with the same result. Unfortunately looks like it requires an older gettext library which is not possible to achieve right now. So we will have to wait a bit.
Kind Regards,

Hi
AFAICS this is not a repmgr issue; the call is coming from PostgreSQL's NLS handling in the function set_pglocale_pgservice() in src/common/exec.c, and the function is not called by repmgr at all. If PostgreSQL itself is installed correctly, then theoretically any external code should build against it as well, so not sure what's going on there. How was PostgreSQL installed? What does pg_config output?
Hi,
It was installed using FreeBSD packages. Postgres itself is running and working just fine.

Also, just FYI, postgresql-repmgr-5.2.0 compiles just fine on the same system.
Looks like this is the time when the problem started for FreeBSD.
Hey, you are correct sir! Manually adding $(LIBS) to Makefile fixes the compile issue.
We have re-added the missing $(LIBS), as its presence is evidently not always superfluous (unfortunately we don't regularly test on FreeBSD).
Thanks for the report.
