Hey list, On some systems, msgfmt is not supplied by gettext-base package, but is found in the separate package gettext (e.g. Debian Wheezy).
I am using AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro in my configure.ac. I note during configure time that there does appear to be a check for msgfmt, but no error is raised if the binary is not detected. This is a problem for my build which depends on it during compilation time. How can I change this behaviour to indicate a configure time failure? I could have added a manual check for the tool, but it seemed redundant with AM_GNU_GETTEXT's check, but not enforcement, so I'm going to guess the macro is probably setting a variable somewhere I can check? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
