Dear list, hopefully I'm not asking a FAQ, but even after a lot of googling and manual reading I did not find a definite answer to this: what is to do if envoking the configure script produces errors such as:
autoheader: missing template: ENABLE_NLS autoheader: missing template: HAVE_CATGETS autoheader: missing template: HAVE_GETTEXT autoheader: missing template: HAVE_LC_MESSAGES I could add them to my local acconfig.h script, but that is deprecated with recent autoconf versions (yes, it's in the manual). However, this would solve the problem -- temporarily. I'm author of a free software program and I keep getting questions regarding the configuration, even though everything works fine on my own system, which is: autoconf 2.13 automake 1.5 I'd appreciate any hints from you. I guess, either the users have to up- or downgrade their autotools, as it happens to people using autoconf 2.53 as well. But I'm not sure really, and I'd like to have a solution that will make _all_ users equally as happy. Thank you very much in advance, Andi.
