Hi, I tried to build apt from cvs, but it's failed in making message catalogs. I guess it's because GETDOMAIN has a strange value when the build-directory includes the same name as domain name such as apt and libapt-pkg3.3.
For example, say I build apt at /home/taru/build/apt/. In this case, $(call GETDOMAIN, /home/taru/build/apt/po/domains/apt/ja.po) will be 'apt apt' because $(subst /, , $(1)) converts it to 'home taru build apt po domains apt ja.po', and therefore $(filter $(DOMAINS),$(subst /, ,$(1))) converts to 'apt apt'. The attached patch seems to fix this problem. PS I faced another problem as follows: makefile:49: target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/apt/@CATALOGS@' doesn't match the target pattern makefile:49: target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/libapt-pkg3.3/@CATALOGS@' doesn't match the target pattern makefile:54: target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/apt/@CATALOGS@' doesn't match the target pattern makefile:55: warning: overriding commands for target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/apt/@CATALOGS@' makefile:50: warning: ignoring old commands for target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/apt/@CATALOGS@' makefile:54: target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/libapt-pkg3.3/@CATALOGS@' doesn't match the target pattern makefile:55: warning: overriding commands for target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/libapt-pkg3.3/@CATALOGS@' makefile:50: warning: ignoring old commands for target `/home/taru/work/debian/build/po/domains/libapt-pkg3.3/@CATALOGS@' Generating /home/taru/work/debian/build/locale/@CATALOGS@/LC_MESSAGES/apt.mo: /usr/bin/msgfmt: no input file given Try `/usr/bin/msgfmt --help' for more information. It seems that a variable CATALOG is still @CATALOG@ in environment.mak. CATALOGS = @CATALOGS@ Does anyone know why this happens? Do I need a specific version of autotools or other tools?
