Re: gettext

[Patrick Welche <prlw1 cam ac uk>]

Another surprise:

$ autoreconf -vif
...
$ mkdir obj
$ cd obj
$ ../configure
...
$ cd po
$ ls
Makefile     Makefile.in  POTFILES
$ make cs.gmo
cd ../../po && rm -f cs.gmo && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c --statistics --verbose -o cs.gmo cs.po
250 translated messages.
$ ls
Makefile     Makefile.in  POTFILES
$ ls ../../po/cs.gmo
../../po/cs.gmo

Problem is, the Makefile.in.in comes from gettext 19.8.1 so fiddling to
use objdir is "interesting".

Non-source tree builds impossible?


Cheers,
