autopoint needed in Ubuntu 10.10
Last modified: 2010-11-09 16:58:34 UTC
"autopoint" package is needed to build gdk-pixbuf from git, but it's not installed running gnome-shell-build-setup.sh script. I've no info about other distro.
hmm... and icon-naming-utils too...
hmmm... and libvorbis-dev (needeb by libcanberra)
hmmmm... and libpulse-dev (needed by gnome-shell itself)
Um... icon-naming-utils, libvorbis-dev, and libpulse-dev are all listed under Debian in gnome-shell-build-setup.sh, and IIRC, someone said that autopoint was included as part of "gettext" there. Did you maybe try to run gnome-shell-build-setup.sh from an out-of-date checkout?
Oh, great. It seems there was yet another gnome-shell-build-setup.sh file in ~/tmp, so the one I downloaded yesterday to start from scratch was named gnome-shell-build-setup.sh.1 :| About autopoint: it seems this binary was part of "gettext" package in 10.04[1] but in 10.10 it's installed by a separate package[2]. And "autopoint" package is not installed in 10.10 when you install gettext.

ok, so someone will have to tweak the ubuntu/debian package checking to add "autopoint" to the list iff a package by that name exists. or something.
The autopoint bug is already reported as 632824, but that's blocking on someone needing to do some research and, if autopoint isn't a separate package on all "sufficiently new" Debian and Ubuntu, making the script handle it conditionally. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 632824 ***
