<para>Prepare Gettext for compilation:</para>

<para>Compile the programs:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>As discussed earlier, we don't recommend running the test suites for the
temporary tools here in this chapter. If you still want to run the Gettext test
suite anyway, the following command will do so. However, you should be aware
that the Gettext test suite is known to experience failures under certain host
conditions -- for example, when it finds a Java compiler on the host (Note: an
experimental patch to disable Java is available from the patches project). Not
only that, the Gettext test suite takes an excessive amount of time to run and
is not considered critical:</para>
