Hello,
I am the maintainer for the git version of Midnight Commander[1]. Since the release of gettext 0.18.3, building midnight commander fails with the following error:
configure.ac:497: error: required file 'intl/Makefile.in' not found Makefile.am:4: error: required directory ./intl does not exist lib/Makefile.am: installing 'config/depcomp' parallel-tests: installing 'config/test-driver' automake failed to generate Makefile.in
It seems that gettext is not creating the intl directory, which is required by mc. If I downgrade to gettext 0.18.2.1 and try to build, then it seems that the intl directory is properly created and the build succeeds. My question is: since this change of behavior happens with the latest version, is this a bug with gettext or with midnight commander?
I am not very familiar with gettext and I haven't been able to find any relevant documentation on the internets so any insight would be very useful.
Thank you, Chirantan
Looks like a bug in gettext, already fixed upstream: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/commit/?id=c0d3ce9120fc24d2b78a...
