I tried to reproduce the error with config.rpath. Apparently it is not copied by autopoint in my case, but gettextize instead (autogen.sh:11). autopoint is not needed at all. Here is the output before installing the gettext package:
$ ./autogen.sh libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `.'. libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'. libtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' libtoolize: `AC_PROG_RANLIB' is rendered obsolete by `LT_INIT' ./autogen.sh: 11: gettextize: not found configure.in:33: required file `./config.rpath' not found Makefile.am:3: AM_GNU_GETTEXT used but `po' not in SUBDIRS Now type './configure' to prepare Adonthell for compilation. Afterwards, 'make' will build Adonthell. The configure script is created but exits with: configure: creating ./config.status config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in' The configure script does not care at all about the content of config.rpath, therefore (just for the sake of compiling a working program) gettextize is non-essential, 'touch' is enough. And, as stated by Chris, empty config.rpath file causes no problems, as it can be safely replaced by gettextize if installed. -- Josef Vitu On Sun, 31 Jul 2011 15:33:02 -0400 Chris Frey <cdf...@foursquare.net> wrote: > On Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 09:25:27PM +0200, Kai Sterker wrote: > > I've added AUTHORS, ChangeLog and NEWS files, but I am a bit > > unsure about config.rpath.
