--- Begin Message ---Package: autoconf Version: 2.59.cvs.2006.06.02-2 Severity: normal Hi, (This probably ain't an autoconf bug, but I'm filing it here because it is exposed by the introduction of datarootdir in newer autoconf and will hit the non-negligible number of applications using the "AM_GLIB_DEFINE_LOCALEDIR" macro...) In short, old autoconf: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share] new autoconf: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX --datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share] --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR] The problem is in AM_GLIB_DEFINE_LOCALEDIR from m4macros/glib-gettext.m4 which hardcodes a double shell expansion: localedir=`eval echo "${datadir}/locale"` this results in a config.h with: #define GNOMELOCALEDIR "${prefix}/share/locale" which will obviously break at runtime. I verified that adding another level of expansion: localedir=`eval echo "${localedir}"` fixes the problem. I doubt you will want to revert that autoconf change, and I don't know whether other macros are affected by this change, but I thought the bug tracker should see this bug. In the end, you might want to document this incompatibility in some upgrading documentation. I've reported the problem of the AM_GLIB_DEFINE_LOCALEDIR macro at: <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343825> feel free to subscribe upstream to follow the discussion. Right now, all I can think of to workaround the problem is to add another level of expansion in all cases in the macro, or to pass at least datarootdir or datadir to configure flags. I would be glad if you can provide some help in handling this large breakage though. Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
