Description Matthias Clasen 2006-08-01 16:53:38 UTC 
because it does test -x xgettext which does not work.
It needs to use a full path.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2006-08-01 17:03:35 UTC 
Ok, prima facie this is caused by a missing BuildRequires: xgettext in
our intltool package, but it would probably be better if the default
value for XGETTEXT_INTLOOL was /usr/bin/xgettext, not just xgettext.

Sounds like this might be the actual bug underlying Bug #339310

I don't think, this is a good idea. But instead of a 'test -x' test, probably a test based on the result of 'which' might work better.
Comment 4 Danilo Segan 2007-07-20 16:24:50 UTC 
It was actually changed to not default to wherever xgettext was found during build time because it caused problems. Don't remember the details, but there should be a bug report about this.

Fixed in SVN.
