intltool appears to rely on some of the binary tools from GNU gettext. If you can't install those, try disabling intltool forcibly in configure.ac.in, comment out line: IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0) You'll also need to disable the I18N of the desktop integration files. If you don't want mime icons, menu icons etc.. (works with non-ancient Gnome, and KDE 3+), disable the "data" directory by removing it from the list of SUBDIRS in the gschem Makefile.am If you _WANT_ the desktop integration, cd into "data", and rename the ".in" files to remove the ".in" suffix. You'll need to edit them, and remove the "_" prefix from translatable elements. In the data dir's Makefile.am, remove the line(s): @INTLTOOL_???????????_RULE@ And change the install file listing commands, such as: desktop_in_files = geda-gschem.desktop.in desktop_DATA = $(desktop_in_files:.desktop.in=.desktop) To: desktop_DATA = geda-gschem.desktop libgeda also has xml_in_files and application_in_files, as well as "desktop_in_files" After these changes, run autogen.sh. They will need to be done for gschem, gattrib and libgeda. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
