It's never done this before. We've always needed 'make dist' or suchlike. This is this morning (so I've got Lars nt_defines.h patch) on a stock FC1 after:
$ make maintainer-clean $ cd .. $ cvs -q up $ ./autogen.sh $ mkdir build && cd build $ ../configure --prefix=/home/angus/testing --enable-maintainer-mode --with-version-suffix --with-included-gettext --with-frontend='xforms qt gtk' $ make Fortunately, subsequent 'make's don't trigger 'msgmerge. Still building. Will report back later whether I installed successfully in /home/angus/testing. -- Angus
