GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 706785

Created attachment 253100 [details] [review] Patch to fix build Due to changes in gnome-common git, an implicit m4 directory is no longer created during autogen. The attached patch explicitly and correctly specifies a macro directory.
Thank you for the patch. Would you mind resubmitting the patch with your metadata using git format-patch?
Pushed the fix as c2f166f58677b5a5c5492afc19f289efa02923a4
For future reference, how should I use the above command?

Reopening as it's not really working on this F19 box: Checking for required M4 macros... Checking for forbidden M4 macros... Processing ./configure.ac Running intltoolize... cp: cannot create regular file ‘m4/intltool.m4’: No such file or directory intltoolize: cannot copy '/usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4' to 'm4/intltool.m4'
I've experienced the same problem with other packages which have not had the above patch applied (e.g., jhbuild). I'm unsure why it's occurring, but I believe it to be a different bug.

I really don't grok any of autotools or intltool, but the patch does work on F20 again and if it's fine for davidz, it's probably fine for us :)
