Bug 417865 – autotools.eclass: please provide a way to call more utilities in eautoreconf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2012-05-27 20:19:03 UTC]

Since eautoreconf now seems to use saner code for utility handling, could you provide a way to inject calling more utilities like glib-gettextize or gtkdocize there?

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2012-05-30 22:21:36 UTC]

why not post a patch to add them to the eclass ?

Will do. Following the suit of current utilities?

Support gtk-doc & gnome-doc

I'm not sure how to handle glib-gettext. Supposedly macro expansion can cause to both AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT & AM_GNU_GETTEXT being declared. gnome-doc-prepare uses 'if; else' block to ensure that glib-gettextize is used instead of autopoint in that case.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2012-06-01 21:31:39 UTC]

you could add a new egettext helper that would take care of calling glib-gettextize or autopoint, and then rewrite the _at_uses_gettext to do a bit more work

Well, AFAICS that 'or' was just to avoid looking for two macros. This one should work fine.

looks ok.  let's merge it and see what blows up.  might want to drop a note to gentoo-dev to give people a heads up ;).

Committed.
