[Scilab-Dev] Documentation build on Solaris

[Jonathan Blanchard]

Thank you for the fast response. Changing the makefile didn't solve
the problem. Since Opensolaris gettext package is the gnu version I
decided to try to build it myself. This took care of the problem I
mentioned about calling msgfmt. But Scilab is still complaining about
not being able to load scilab_en_US_help.jar. I checked and the file
does not exist. For reference my computer's local is en_CA.UTF-8 but
when I build and run scilab I use LANG="C".
