Description Hans Petter Jansson 2006-04-21 06:32:50 UTC 
When trying to build gnome-media from CVS HEAD using jhbuild, configure failed. The symptom is the following:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
sed: file ./confstatVc2230/subs-2.sed line 33: unterminated `s' command
sed: couldn't write 50 items to stdout: Broken pipe

(Actual output taken from another package that failed similarly).

The problem appears to be that the contents of po/LINGUAS are assigned to the substitution variable ALL_LINGUAS in configure.in. config.status then generates a sed script containing the substitutions, and sed breaks because there's a multiline string in there that's not marked as such.

In my view this is an autoconf bug, but it's easily preventable, so why not
save everyone the pain?

Patch that fixes the problem.

The patch uses tr to replace linefeeds with spaces (after comments are removed). It formats the linguas on a single line.
