Package: gettext Version: 0.16.1-2 Severity: normal I'm 'flying' around a project using gettext and the autotools, recently I've hit the following problem:
Making install in po make[2]: Entering directory `bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1/po' /bin/sh @MKINSTALLDIRS@ bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1/debian/bless/usr/share /bin/sh: @MKINSTALLDIRS@: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1/po' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `bless/debian-pkg/bless-0.5.1' make: *** [common-install-impl] Error 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1228: fakeroot debian/rules binary failed It seems that the @MKINSTALLDIRS@ refuse to be substituted in the final po/Makefile file where the original po/Makefile.in.in has been generated by autopoint. I saw a SUBST(MKINSTALLDIRS) in m4/nls.m4 but I have no idea if the configure is executing it or not. ***This might be bug due to a misuse of gettext/autopoint !*** But, I didn't find anything wrong in the software itself until now...
