GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 147837
shared-mime-info should depend on intltool
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I just did a clean build of gtk+ with the gnome28 moduleset. I get this error when building shared-mime-info: configure.in:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_INTLTOOL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. *** error during stage configure of shared-mime-info: could not configure module *** [11/12] I think shared-mime-info needs to depend on intltool. I did a 'buildone intltool' and then the build continued OK.
This is actually a duplicate of a bug you commented on earlier (bug 132899). The problem is the dependency between the gnome28 and freedesktop modulesets (shared-mime-info is part of freedesktop.modules, and intltool is in gnome28.modules, and we want freedesktop.modules to be independent). What we currently have is a "soft dependency", which means that if you are building both intltool and shared-mime-info, it will build them in the right order. At one point the plan was to put intltool in freedesktop.org CVS (which would be a good thing since some packages on fd.org that would benefit from intltool aren't using it because it is perceived as a Gnome package). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132899 ***
