[PATCH] Can't use both IT_PROG_INTLTOOL and AM_GNU_GETTEXT
Last modified: 2010-11-22 09:15:34 UTC
You can't use both IT_PROG_INTLTOOL and AM_GNU_GETTEXT - they both try to write po/Makefile.in.in. Modern versions of intltool detect this and abort the build.

So how does Totem pull in its gettext dependency now? The original change[1] which caused this problem was motivated by bug #624186. [1]: http://git.gnome.org/browse/totem/commit/?id=1c1672491442722ffff58c5ec2645096283b255f
I was talking with dobey, the intltool author about this. I don't understand the details of how intltool works, but it does obsolete (and conflicts with) AM_GNU_GETTEXT. If you drop the AM_GNU_GETTEXT macros all the translations continue to work as required. This bug may shed some light? https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/654918
OK, please commit to master then.
