Package: intltool
Version: 0.34.2-1
Severity: normal
/usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4 brings the following tests:
AC_PATH_PROG(INTLTOOL_PERL, perl)
if test -z "$INTLTOOL_PERL"; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([perl not found; required for intltool])
fi
if test -z "`$INTLTOOL_PERL -v | fgrep '5.' 2> /dev/null`"; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([perl 5.x required for intltool])
fi
if test "x$2" != "xno-xml"; then
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for XML::Parser])
if `$INTLTOOL_PERL -e "require XML::Parser" 2>/dev/null`; then
AC_MSG_RESULT([ok])
else
AC_MSG_ERROR([XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool])
fi
fi
which will fail on a flat bsd install, rather then trigger a build without
intl. AC_MSG_ERROR is definetlely not right here, or if, it should just
be checked if all the other libintl stuff is available (which in fact wasn't)
a freebsd build with the dist-tar (containing the results of autoreconf.sh of a
debian box) looks like this:
checking whether NLS is requested... yes
checking for GNU gettext in libc... no
checking for iconv... no, consider installing GNU libiconv
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no
checking whether to use NLS... no
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is
required for intltool
and aborts. as there is no intl, it should build without.
