[vim/vim] Vim for CLI Linux (#8373)

[bagalexey]

Hello,

I'm using CLI version of pure Linux 5.4 x64 (no pakage manager) on hardware without display module.
I can compile and install Vim's latest version 8.2 only in tiny/small configuration. Starting from normal configuration compiler gives that type of error:

m_sgfmt --desktop -d . --template gvim.desktop.in -o tmp_gvim.desktop
af.po: warning: Charset "ISO-8859-1" is not supported. msgfmt relies on iconv(),
and iconv() does not support "ISO-8859-1".
Installing GNU libiconv and then reinstalling GNU gettext
would fix this problem.
Continuing anyway.
msgfmt: Cannot convert from "ISO-8859-1" to "UTF-8". msgfmt relies on iconv(), and iconv() does not support this conversion._

None of the currently proposed solution works to solve this issue. And I need a version with Python3 syntax correction feature enabled
.

Regards,
Alex

What is the output of these commands?

$ locale
$ locale -a

Please also post the command you use to configure and build Vim.

I can compile and install Vim's latest version 8.2

Is this vim-8.2.0000? or the latest from git, which is vim-8.2.2984 at the time of writing this.

If only msgfmt is having trouble (?), you could try adding --disable-nls to your configure command (it removes the translation of message with gettext).

Also, the error message indicates that installing GNU libiconv and then reinstalling GNU gettext would fix this problem.
I don't know about pure Linux, but on Ubuntu, libiconv comes with the libc I think. And gettext would be installed with:

$ sudo apt-get install libgettextpo-dev

Closed #8373.

Thank you, --disable-nls flag solved the issue.
