patch that deletes the GNU msgfmt test (541 bytes, patch)
2007-12-18 10:31 UTC, Laszlo (Laca) Peter 		none Details | Review

Description Ioan Herisanu 2007-10-27 16:32:01 UTC 
Documentation 
Section: INSTALL file.
There is no mention of gettext dependency. This provides the msgfmt utility. Without it, compile process is not finished.

Correct version:
Mention that gettext is a dependency (or anything that provides msgfmt)

Other information:
Without this, there is a Makefile generated from ./configure process that has nothing set for msgfmt variable. Make exits in compiling the po folder, not completing the process. Also, "make install" is confused.

This is not a vinagre issue, but is a more generic one.
Assigning to intltool.

Comment 7 Laszlo (Laca) Peter 2007-12-18 10:30:13 UTC 
The fix for this bug went a bit too far.
On Solaris, we need GNU msgmerge and xgettext for building GNOME,
but Solaris msgfmt works just fine.  So this is now breaking our
build for no good reason.

I've added a patch to our build that deletes the test for GNU
msgfmt.
