Intltoolize doesn't create po/Makefile.in ...

[Sever P A <gnu sever gmail com>]

Hi guys,

For a weeks, I'm trying to run intltool on my app. As I reported
before, configure script crashes with the following message,

config.status: error: po/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize.

Google does not help to much (almost for me...). If anybody search for
"po/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize.", could obtain
suggestions related of installing dependencies... or, also, the
eventual incompatibility of IT_PROG_INTLTOOL and AM_GNU_GETTEXT macros
in the configure.ac file. But, I experienced that the only way that
the configure script doesn't crash is when I remove IT_PROG_INTLTOOL
from configure.ac... I wonder if it's a good option delete
IT_PROG_INTLTOOL while I want to use intltool...

The version of my intltool is 0.40.6. I'm working on the testing
branch of Debian GNU/Linux.


* Here is my configure.ac,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#                                               -*- Autoconf -*-
# Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.

* Moreover, I don't reach to understand when po/Makefile.in and
(maybe) po/Makefile is created.


* I looked up the /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4... and I suspect with
the lines 179-180...

    if [ ! grep "^# INTLTOOL_MAKEFILE$" "$1/Makefile.in" > /dev/null ]; then
       AC_MSG_ERROR([$1/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize.])

Why $1/Makefile.in is searched ?


* After *intltoolize*, my po directory has,

ChangeLog  LINGUAS  Makefile.in.in  POTFILES  POTFILES.in

While Makefile.in.in is a link to /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in


Could help ?
