Hello, Just checking, but could it be that there's some mismatch in gnulib about gettext?
$ git grep GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION build-aux/po/Makefile.in.in:GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION = 0.19 [...] m4/po.m4: AC_SUBST([GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION], [0.20]) While trying to upgrade gnulib in GNU datamash, I got into an endless cycle of failing with: make[2]: Entering directory '/home/gordon/projects/datamash/po' *** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from gettext version 0.19 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version 0.20 Then running "gettextize" with version 0.20.1 solves it, but re-running "./bootstrap" brings the problem back (I guess by getting the older po/Makefile.in.in from gnulib?). Thanks, - assaf
