Re: gettext 0.14.5 compile issue

[Jason Keltz]

Hi Stepan,

I'm actually not setting "srcdir" at all.  That gets set by the 
configure process.  When I compiled on the command line, I used:

./configure --prefix=/xsys

I tried this:

create /tmp/p
uncompress/untar gettext into /tmp/p
cd /tmp
/tmp/p/gettext-0.14.5/configure --prefix=/xsys
make

From config.log, I see:

configure:3303: running /bin/sh 
'/tmp/p/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/configure'
--prefix=/xsys  '--prefix=/xsys' 'CC=gcc' 'CXX=g++' 
--cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=/tmp/p/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools

The compile completed successfully.

This, of course still begs the question ... why would the build fail 
with the auto build system? hmmmmm...

jas.
