Annotation of embedaddon/lrzsz/README.gettext, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: In case you see a dump of your environment after running configure
                      2: or config.status you might want to either:
                      3: - downgrade to gettext-0.10.32 (maybe 33 or 34 will work too, but
                      4:   i didn' test them)
                      5: - upgrade to a newer autoconf version (there is none at the moment
                      6:   of this writing - Oct 1998 - and i suspect this state will not
                      7:   change soon)
                      8: - patch your /usr/lib/acgeneral.m4 (see below).
                      9: In any case you should rerun "aclocal" afterwards and 
                     10: "configure" again.
                     11: 
                     12: Sorry for the trouble.
                     13: --------------------------------------------------------------------
                     14: 
                     15: This little patch solves a problem i found using gettext-0.10.35.
                     16: For some reason AM_GNU_GETTEXT (serial 5) calls 
                     17: AC_LINK_FILES($nls_cv_header_libgt, $nls_cv_header_intl)
                     18: with both variables being empty (at least on my redhat-5.1 
                     19: system).
                     20: This gives an config.status script like this one:
                     21:        ac_sources=" "
                     22:        ac_dests=" "
                     23: 
                     24:        srcdir=$ac_given_srcdir
                     25:        while test -n "$ac_sources"; do
                     26:          set $ac_dests; ac_dest=$1; shift; ac_dests=$*
                     27:          set $ac_sources; ac_source=$1; shift; ac_sources=$*
                     28: 
                     29: "set ; ac_source=$1; shift; ac_sources=$*" produces some not
                     30: so nice looking output ...
                     31: 
                     32: I think the right fix is something like that, but maybe Ulrich might want
                     33: to try something else since autoconf seems to be basically unmaintained.
                     34: 
                     35: don't forget to rebuild your frozen m4 files:
                     36:        cd /usr/lib/autoconf
                     37:        m4 -F autoconf.m4f autoconf.m4
                     38:        m4 -F autoheader.m4f autoheader.m4
                     39: 
                     40: Regards, Uwe
