hgettext a simple wrapper to libintl and gettext to provide localization in Haskell applications

matchFileGlob was removed in 2.4 (haskell/cabal#5284) and Distribution.Simple.Glob.matchDirFileGlob with widely different type is supposed to be used instead.
I am not really sure where are we supposed to get the PackageDescription argument value. Perhaps something like https://github.com/google/proto-lens/pull/242/files#diff-4fe9daabe5a3a972435eb21087de0259R183 could work.
It cannot find the gettext libraries to link with when creating the dll.
I'll submit a patch for this.
This is a stable package which I just updated to GHC 9.8 (just bumping upper bounds of dependencies).
@NH002 Looking at the reverse dependencies (3), you stood out as an active user of this package. Would you take over this package? I am not using it myself.
Inspired by #19:
We should also add support for parsing CPP directives to the hgettext tool, and since haskell-src-exts does not support that we can use cpphs or hse-cpp.

• Expecting one more argument to ‘H.Module’
Expected a type, but ‘H.Module’ has kind ‘* -> *’
• In the first argument of ‘H.ParseResult’, namely ‘H.Module’
In the type signature:

I'm in the process of packaging ghc-hgettext for Fedora, and one of the requirements is that the module's licence is put in a COPYING file in the package, as is standard for other FOSS projects.
Could one be added please?
Distribution.Simple.I18N.GetText overrides postInst hook to install PO files, however this hook is not executed. After some search I've found this related issue: haskell/cabal#1805 and related commit: haskell/cabal@dda6ffe
Looks like after Cabal version 1.18 it is necessary to override both postCopy and postInst.
If I override both hooks then everything is fine: mo files are generated and copied to appropriate path. But w/o this hack it doesn't work.
Preprocessing Haskell files with CPP can in some cases break Haskell syntax. For example multi line string literals like the following break. Even though they are valid Haskell.
foo = "abc\
\def"
I think the most idiomatic way to replace CPP would be to auto-generate a module, similar to what Cabal already does with Paths_<pkg>.
Not using CPP in future versions would suddenly break compatibility, so this should probably be controllable via a flag in *.cabal.
Would you be open for merge requests in this direction?
There should be an option for hgettext utility to enable parsing of files that use language extensions: e.g. hgettext -e CPP to use C pre-processor to parse the given file.
Currently, it just throws a parse error when using it on a file with language extensions.
hgettext.cabal lists TemplateHaskell as an extension for the hgettext executable. hgettext.hs doesn't seem to actually use TemplateHaskell (as an extension) and in Debian we actually compile hgettext with that line removed from hgettext.cabal.
Is there some specific reason to list it as an extension in hgettext.cabal?
