I had been meaning to post an announcement, but you beat me to it :-)
Yes, gettext 0.10.35 is a requirement. I had a couple of misgivings,
but I think it simplifies some things for us.
If you have an older version of gettext, and don't want to upgrade:
- manually revert the change to `acinclude.m4'
i.e. use
$ cvs update -p -r <prev rev> acinclude.m4 > aci.prev
$ mv aci.prev acinclude.m4
- manually revert the change to `configure.in'
- run `gettextize' to get the intl/ directory, or copy it over from
gnome-common/intl.
You probably won't see conflicts, since these portions of acinclude.m4
and configure.in are rarely modified.
Another option is to install the gettext m4 macros, gettextize and
$prefix/share/gettext parts of `gettext'.
