lrzsz ver 0.12.20

    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.

   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
