Yep, this is not the problem. Now I know what happened: I had the line AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.11) in my configure.ac and used autopoint to copy all gettext related stuff (m4 files, po/Makefile.in.in, ...) into my project. autopoint uses internally a CVS repository (that's why the spurious cvs dependency) which contains various gettext versions. Once it sees my minimal supported version 0.11 (which was just a guess from me as I assumed the installed version will be used) it tries to use it and creates po/Makefile.in.in from gettext 0.11. But this is buggy (as well as many other versions of gettext). Just try the helloworld.tgz from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=548750 extract it into a temporary directory and change 0.10 to 0.11 in configure.ac. Now call ./autogen.sh mkdir build cd build ../configure make distcheck to verify the problem. (Since this is a problem with an old version I do not open a bug report.) My versions: automake: 1.11 autoconf: 2.64 gettext: 0.17 The funny stuff is that every version of gettext behaves different. So I probably have to test my package with all recent versions (but want to keep support for 0.12.1) ... Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
