Discussion and Answer

Apparently that tools calls `pwd` which gets the current directory on Linux. Install Unix tools on your Windows machine or patch xgettext to hardcode the path.

When you run a script in the tools directory you need to specify the lib path, something like: perl -I d:/twiki/twiki/lib -w d:/twiki/twiki/tools/xgettext

If needed, see HowToInstallCpanModules.

Hi Peter,

The problem was coming from ` character. Windows does not understand ` character.

xgettext gave me some output when I change all the ` character with '

Now my $cwd = `pwd` ; looked like my $cwd = 'pwd' ;
