Hi, Chris, please don't top post. How the hell should I reply to it? Read an arbitrary mailing list netiquette guide ...

Your patch just refers to the warning "WARNING: po/Makefile.in seems to ignore the .*dir setting" Maybe it causes make to install files into wrong directories but I had never problems with this. The error from this thread was a real error because of an incompatibility of special versions of gettext and automake. As we both observed using a newer gettext version (by just bumping the minimal gettext version in configure.ac, in general not by upgrading gettext) helps. I try in general to use an as old version of gettext as possible, to be compatible with older hosts. The warning you are referring to was always ignored by me :-)) Jens _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
