Hi, In gettext-0.15.1 a new macro will be added, AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR. Its effect is to override the first argument of AM_GNU_GETTEXT. Its purpose is to decouple the specification that gettext is needed from the specification how it's provided. Needed for gnulib in particular.
I'm proposing a patch for automake to support this macro. It requires a tiny change in autom4te. 2006-10-01 Bruno Haible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Add AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR, for automake 1.10. *** autoconf-2.60a/lib/autom4te.in.bak 2006-06-13 20:03:30.000000000 +0200 --- autoconf-2.60a/lib/autom4te.in 2006-10-01 20:09:19.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 58,63 **** --- 58,64 ---- args: --preselect AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION args: --preselect AM_CONDITIONAL args: --preselect AM_GNU_GETTEXT + args: --preselect AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR args: --preselect AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE args: --preselect AM_MAINTAINER_MODE args: --preselect AM_PROG_CC_C_O
