Package: gettext
Version: 0.16.1-2
Severity: normal
I'm 'flying' around a project using gettext and the autotools, recently
I've hit the following problem:
Making install in po
make[2]: Entering directory `bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1/po'
/bin/sh @MKINSTALLDIRS@ bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1/debian/bless/usr/share
/bin/sh: @MKINSTALLDIRS@: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1/po'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1'
make: *** [common-install-impl] Error 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1228:
fakeroot debian/rules binary failed
It seems that the @MKINSTALLDIRS@ refuse to be substituted in the final
po/Makefile file where the original po/Makefile.in.in has been generated
by autopoint.
I saw a SUBST(MKINSTALLDIRS) in m4/nls.m4 but I have no idea if the
configure is executing it or not.
***This might be bug due to a misuse of gettext/autopoint !***
But, I didn't find anything wrong in the software itself until now...
