So, I'm using gettext 0.11.5, which is what is in jhbuild. Getting the

For a while, I've been planning on changing how "jhbuild bootstrap"
works, since it really serves two purposes:
1. check to make sure the required build tools are installed
2. Install missing build tools
This blurred the distinction between "what version of the build tools
should I install?" and "what version of the build tools are good
enough?". As an example, "jhbuild bootstrap" currently installs libtool
1.5.2. The minimum requirement is really 1.5, but if you were going to
install a new copy of libtool it would be silly to grab the older
version. Unfortunately, the current bootstrap impl doesn't make this
distinction.
As part of the rewrite, I added a separate "jhbuild sanitycheck" command
now, that does (1) and a few other checks (such as making sure that each
version of automake can see libtool.m4, gettext.m4, etc). The plan is
to alter "jhbuild bootstrap" so that when you run it, it installs all of
the build tools into your install root (ignoring anything installed by
the distro). The idea is that the user has the choice of the following:
* use distro provided versions of tools. User runs "jhbuild
sanitycheck" to make sure their system is sane.
* install all the build tools. This should leave the user with a
sane build environment, but running "jhbuild sanitycheck" couldn't
hurt.
It would be a good idea to hear what the minimum versions of tools such
as gettext should be set at. You can see the versions of the various
tools checked for at:
http://anoncvs.gnome.gr.jp/viewcvs.cgi/jhbuild/jhbuild/commands/sanitycheck.py?annotate=HEAD
I'm currently treating gettext-0.10.40 as the minimum required version,
but will change it if that is considered too old.
James.
