I need to install version 0.15 or higher of GNU's gettext so that I can use some i18n feateres with django.

I've downloaded :

http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.18.3.1.tar.gz

from https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/

However I have no idea how to install it and there's no installation guide on their website. How can I install it ?

I'm maintaining a GitHub repository with Windows binaries of gettext and iconv (I just updated it to the latest gettext version: 0.19.3)

You can find it here: http://mlocati.github.io/gettext-iconv-windows/

To see how I compiled them (if you want to do it yourself) take a look at https://github.com/mlocati/gettext-iconv-windows
