All that does is stop including a complete copy of libintl in your source tree. autopoint still wants to add a few dozen files. The best solution is to not run autopoint at all, since it doesn't do anything useful if you don't want to include a copy of gettext in your distributed tarballs. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
