[gnome-db]CVS build fails

[Sean Allen <zeroone worldonline co za>]

Hi, I am playing with (and writing docs against)  0.2.9 sources, thanks
for the cool work, gnome db is looking better everytime I build it

CVS snapshot from 15 mins ago fails with:

libgda/autogen.sh...

grep: po/Makefile.in.in: No such file or directory
patch: **** Can't find file po/Makefile.in.in : No such file or
directory
configure.in:17: warning: backquotes should not be backslashed in:

shared libraries

variable and reconfigure
configure.in:17: warning: backquotes should not be backslashed in:

configure.in:648: warning: AC_LINK_FILES is obsolete; instead use
AC_CONFIG_FILES(DEST:SOURCE...)
Makefile.am:1: required directory ./intl does not exist

some kind of gettext/i18n issue I would guess

thanks
