Description jpd 2009-07-21 09:16:58 UTC 
Built ekiga 3.6.2 with ./configure --prefix=... --disable-nls [...]

make install still installs a stack of nls related files. If --disable-nls is
not intended to work as advertised it might as well not exist.

This seems to me a bug in glib, so I move it over there.

The --disable-nls option comes automatically from glib-gettext.m4 file, because ekiga uses AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT.  And I see an old thread about removing this option since it is not supported, http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2002-January/msg00144.html, but the patch given there was probably forgotten.

Moreover, it really seems that --disable-nls is not supported in glib-gettext.m4 file, since when I configure ekiga with --disable-nls, ENABLE_NLS still gets defined to 1 in config.h.
