--- Begin Message ---Hello. I received this from the Debian bug system: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Leidert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 16:27:38 +0200 Subject: Bug#378239: $(MKINSTALLDIRS) is set to non-existent file $(top_builddir)/./mkinstalldirs when used with automake 1.9 Package: gettext Version: 0.14.6-1 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The following situation: A source with several po-subdirs in the form of $(top_srcdir)/src/plugin_$plugin/po (Makefile.in.in and other gettext files there are freshly copied from /usr/share/gettext/po) and one main po directory in $(top_srcdir) prepared via intltoolize. The configure.ac file contains the following relevant macros: ALL_LINGUAS="da de es fi fr it ja no pl pt pt_BR ru sr sv tr zh_CN zh_TW" AC_SUBST(ALL_LINGUAS) GETTEXT_PACKAGE=AC_PACKAGE_NAME AC_SUBST(GETTEXT_PACKAGE) AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT IT_PROG_INTLTOOL AM_PO_SUBDIRS Then the source is prepared via (a autogen.sh file) libtoolize -f && intltoolize -f && \ copy_gettext_files() && \ autoheader && aclocal && automake && autoconf Now the following situation appears, when running 'make distcheck': DIST_COMMON does not contain 'mkinstalldirs'. I guess, this is because install-sh does the job of mkinstalldirs in automake 1.9, so automake sets mkinstalldirs = $(install_sh) -d and there is no file mkinstalldirs. But the gettext-Makefile(.in.in) files contain: MKINSTALLDIRS = $(top_builddir)/./mkinstalldirs mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) $(MKINSTALLDIRS) So 'make distcheck|install' fails, because of the missing file. An interesting point is, that if I now re-run autogen.sh && ./configure && fakeroot 'make distcheck' it sometimes works and mkinstalldirs is copied too. But the normal situation from a fresh source (I can upload it to my webspace if you want to reproduce the bug) is, that it fails. I initially file this bug against gettext (glib-gettext.m4 (libglib2.0-dev) probably shows the same bug). Reassign it, if you think, the bug is caused by a different package (or that the issue is my fault). ATM I workaround this by doing an extra check for mkinstalldirs and copying it from the automake directory and then adding it to EXTRA_DIST.
