A quick note that bumping to gettext 0.24 may bring two kinds of trouble: - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?66865 - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/217346
For a reproducer that works with 0.23.1 and breaks with 0.24: cd "$(mktemp -d)" git clone --depth 1 --branch 0.4.x https://github.com/Libvisual/libvisual/ cd libvisual/libvisual-plugins ./autogen.sh make dist (HEAD is at 56135617f021d3b40a7750837c2f4fe75d100762 at the moment.) With 0.24 the symptom is: make[3]: Entering directory '/tmp/tmp.FviCbX6GZW/libvisual/libvisual-plugins/po' make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/config.status', needed by 'Makefile'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/tmp.FviCbX6GZW/libvisual/libvisual-plugins/po' I'm working on a reproducible report for non-Gentoo gettext upstream.
One of the two turned out a bug elsewhere, dropping, details at: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/217346#issuecomment-2766999860
