Description Derek Atkins 2006-07-15 15:48:06 UTC
the configure script is missing a 'test', which causes improper behavior.
It also complains (in SVN) about po/POTFILES.in missing.

This was fixed in trunk in r14497 and r14500

From IRC:

<chris> Can you explain how someone could end up with no POTFILES.in?
<warlord> svn checkout
<chris> and then what do they do?
<warlord> configure wants to see it, complains that it doesn't exist, but then moves on..   Then during "make" POTFILES.in gets created..  
<chris> I'd say just backport the missing "test" part, then.
<chris> It all looks correct, but just doesn't seem like it's worth backporting.
<warlord> unfortunately the "missing 'test'" changeset also adds cruft to configure about POTFILES.in..  
<warlord> i.e., +AC_MSG_NOTICE([Ignore error message "./po/POTFILES.in: No such file or directory." if it occurrs.])
<chris> I mean just the one line.
<warlord> so you mean just backport this one part of the changeset:
<warlord> -        if x${want_ofx} = xyes ; then
<warlord> +        if test x${want_ofx} = xyes ; then
<warlord> ????
<chris> ys.
<chris> er, yes.
<warlord> hmm..
<warlord> that DOES violate the "only backport changesets" rule...
<warlord> but...
<warlord> *shrugs*
<chris> I would suggest to just make commit it to 2.0, but to follow your rules, you would create a bugfix branch, commit the one liner, and then merge.
<warlord> I think this particular change is trivial enough I can just pull it back by hand, provided we're "all" in agreement that it's okay for that change.
<warlord> I'm fine with just hand-applying that change to 2.0, if you are.
<warlord> (it's obviously a "correct" change)
<chris> go for it.
<warlord> Okay.

This one change has been pulled into the 2.0 branch in r14510.
