Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-08-04 21:28:25 UTC 
new bug tracker to figure out what's going on with these failures:
/bin/sh: @MKINSTALLDIRS@: No such file or directory
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-08-05 14:09:00 UTC 
ok, this is because older gettexts used AM_MKINSTALLDIRS

newer ones are using AM_PROG_MKDIR_P

the problem happens when autotools are run ... the newer gettext m4 files are used while the older gettext Makefile.in.in are not updated ... so autoconf no longer replaces @MKINSTALLDIRS@ in the Makefiles leading the error seen

the proper fix depends on the package ... if your package includes the .m4 files like a good little boy, make sure aclocal is run with the proper -I <m4 dir> flags

if your package does not include the m4, then you may have to run `autopoint -f` to update the Makefiles and `aclocal` to update the m4 files

Comment 3 Peter Parkanyi 2006-08-07 11:18:15 UTC 
Could someone import these functions into autotools, say like a patch? Or package maintainers will take care of the workaround?
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 19:07:37 UTC 
you probably want Bug 142787
Comment 5 Sven Wegener gentoo-dev 2006-09-20 13:48:31 UTC 
pretty bad that autopoint requires cvs to update the files
Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-07 11:36:34 UTC 
Nothing left here.
