Hello, I have noticed that GNU gettext is unable to recognize the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR & AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS macros in configure.ac. Gettextize seem to consider just the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS as the construct specifiing where to put local m4s.
Relevant automake's discussion: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2013-01/msg00115.html .. it continues here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2013-02/msg00014.html Many projects started to use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR inside configure.ac but it is then missed by gettextize. When there is specified something like AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([some_different_place_than_m4]) (and the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS unspecified) gettextize still uses the 'm4' directory as place to put macros. The problem is that aclocal then does not look for m4s files 'm4' (because the name 'm4' is not defined as something like default place where copy macros into). Pavel
