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 *** Bug 142958 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Could someone import these functions into autotools, say like a patch? Or package maintainers will take care of the workaround? you probably want Bug 142787 pretty bad that autopoint requires cvs to update the files Nothing left here. |
