Follow-up Comment #7, sr#110435 (group autoconf): Yes, I have wrote in the first comment that the custom script which copies config.rpath to current directory and then run autoreconf is a workaround.
I'm looking at autotools now again and seems that config.rpath is copied by autopoint to current dir. But autopoint is called only when configure.ac uses AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION macro. But usage of AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION in configure.ac cause that autoreconf (or its subprocess) installs gettext stuff which are not required for non-gettext projects. So I think that solution for this problem can be: Use current autoreconf detection if calling autopoint is needed and call it. If autopoint was not called and configure.ac use AM_ICONV macro then copy config.rpath to current directory. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110435> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
