Starting from version 0.19.6, gettext has native capabilities to extract from, and merge back translations in AppStream files. Hence, use xgettext to extract messages, and msgfmt to create AppStream files with translations; because of this, there no more need to prefix with underscore the tags to be translated. Update the gettext required version in INSTALL.md. Reviewed-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Pino Toscano <ptoscano@redhat.com>

Basic Install
For starters, if you just want to run virt-manager/virt-install to test out
changes, it can be done from the source directory:
./virt-manager
To install the software into /usr/local (usually), you can do:
./setup.py install
To build an RPM, you can run:
./setup.py rpm
setup.py generally has all the build and install commands, for more info see:
./setup.py --help-commands./setup.py install --help- Python Standard Build and Install
Pre-requisite software
A detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in file.
Minimum version requirements of major components:
- gettext >= 0.19.6
- python >= 3.4
- gtk3 >= 3.22
- libvirt-python >= 0.6.0
- pygobject3 >= 3.22
- libosinfo >= 0.2.10
- gtksourceview >= 3
On Debian or Ubuntu based distributions, you need to install the
gobject-introspection bindings for some dependencies like libvirt-glib
and libosinfo. Look for package names that start with 'gir', for example
gir1.2-libosinfo-1.0.
Optional software
virt-manager can optionally use libguestfs
for inspecting the guests. For this, python-libguestfs >= 1.22 is needed.
