Package: eel
Severity: normal
Version: 1.1.3
Synopsis: configure.in should check bind_textdomain_codeset in libc or libintl
Bugzilla-Product: eel

libc may contain gettext functions but not bind_textdomain_codeset
(which appeared recently).
This function will always be in libintl.a installed with GNU gettext

Unknown version 1.1.x in product eel. Setting version to the default, "unspecified".
Reassigning to the default owner of the component, nautilus-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-02-04 15:32:22 UTC 
Frederic: I assume the build fails if bind_textdomain_codeset isn't there?
Comment 2 Darin Adler 2002-02-28 17:41:12 UTC 
Why does eel need to make this check?

How is eel different from other libraries and programs in this
respect?
Comment 3 Frederic.Devernay 2002-03-01 10:30:09 UTC 
I agree, in fact this same problem occured in other modules that were
using that same function.
This check should be in AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT or AM_GLIB_WITH_NLS .
bind_textdomain_codeset isn't in glibc 2.1, it may be in glibc 2.2,
and it should always be in libintl which is installed with GNU gettext.

Even better, -lintl should be included in glib-2.0.pc and/or
libglib.la if this function isn't present in glibc (thus requiring no
autoconf check in libraries that use glibc).

I'm trying to change the product for this bug, hope it works.
