Description John Marshall 2007-01-22 18:06:47 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. run intltool-update -p from msys console
2. 
3. 


Stack trace:


Other information:
intltool-update returns 
 *** The intltool-extract script wasn't found!
 *** Without it, intltool-update can not generate files.
even though intltool-extract is in the current path.
Comment 1 Rodney Dawes 2007-02-14 04:15:09 UTC 
Fixed in SVN. We now fall back to "intltool-extract" in the path, rather than hardcoding the install path in the script.
Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2007-03-22 17:26:14 UTC 
It does not seem to be fixed in 0.35.5 2007-02-23

sub GenerateHeaders
{
    my $EXTRACT = $ENV{"INTLTOOL_EXTRACT"} || "intltool-extract";

    ## Generate the .h header files, so we can allow glade and
    ## xml translation support
    if (! -x "$EXTRACT")
    {
        print STDERR "\n *** The intltool-extract script wasn't found!"
             ."\n *** Without it, intltool-update can not generate files.\n";
        exit;
    }

It will work only if intltool-extract is in $PWD and will not work, if intltool-extract is installed in system-wide path.

You must improve this fix for system-wide intltool-update.

Can somebody reopen this bug? The "fix" does not work even on Linux.
Comment 4 Rodney Dawes 2007-07-12 03:53:55 UTC 
Can you explain how it isn't fixed? SVN contains the appropriate fix that Danilo implemented, which checks using the -x conditional, as well as by running intltool-extract and verifying that it returns 0.

Oops, sorry, I missed it. Thank you.
