This bug is very likely not an Autoconf bug, but an issue with
third-party Autoconf macros. Presumably, AC_PROG_INTLTOOL comes from
GNOME's intltool package, and the MSGFMT setting from some gettext
macros. That's where you should probably continue searching.
Thanks for the pointer. I was not able to determine the root cause of
this after looking through other macros, but adding
'AC_PATH_PROG(MSGFMT, msgfmt, msgfmt)' in my configure.ac seemed to
work around this problem.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
Yup, thanks!
