Package: gnulib
Version: 20140202+stable-2
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer. I ran into compilation problems for a program (Star
traders http://www.zap.org.au/software/trader/) that has a bootstrap
script that uses gnulib-tool before make is run. However I got the
following error message when running make:
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from
gettext version 0.19 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version 0.18
I tested using making a symlink from /usr/bin/gnulib-tool to the newest
gnulib-tool from source, and this makes the error go away.
Probably relevant entry in upstream gnulib changelog:
2015-04-25 [...]
In build-aux/po, copy Makefile.in.in and
remove-potcdate.sin from $GETTEXT. This fixes a version mismatch
between Makefile.in.in and the gettext-runtime m4 files.
Regards,
Anders Jonsson
