Also, note that Automake 1.13 will *not* yet remove AM_PROG_MKDIR_P (precisely for the sake of "older" gettext versions), so the warning can be ignored for now. The removal of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P will only take place in Automake 1.14. > [SNIP] > > mkdir_p = @mkdir_p@ > Actually, this code will still continue to work even after the removal of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P. You are still advised to use $(MKDIR_P) rather than $(mkdir_p) in your code, but shouldn't worry about third-party code as the above. > So, what I am supposed to do there ? > Ignore the warning for now (at least, until you upgrade to Automake 1.13), but upgrade to gettext 1.18.2 as soon as it become available.
