CommandError: Cannot find xgettext. with django i18n
I have a simple django app that I am using I18N
. But when I tried to execute the following command,
D:\work\i18n\testapp>django-admin.py makemessages -l en
I am getting the following error,
D:\work\i18n\testapp>django-admin.py makemessages -l en
CommandError: Can't find xgettext. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or
newer installed.
After that I installed python-gettext , but I still get the error CommandError: Can't find xgettext...
.
Here is my setup.py parameter

What am I missing here? Any customization or any other module I should install?
