So I assume you already incorporated the 3 patches from March 2018: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=2d3dd35cb263f6566b2924a2adae99385c440f46 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=e6cf0b3040eb5d77eb1c03a7f8231a65a1f11e16 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=8e33103c084e5c7714e821f5fae592b9cbbb4781 Then, please apply the 2 patches from September 2018: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd09403f71a792b4e5c482c7ebb29d26c129dbe6 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=0782fa4dc036a709d5501a8712c5331489c28be9 Note: There are multiple copies of the relevant files in the gettext tarball; the patches needs to be applied to each. $ find . -name javacomp.m4 ./gettext-tools/gnulib-m4/javacomp.m4 ./gettext-runtime/gnulib-m4/javacomp.m4 $ find . -name javacomp.h ./gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/javacomp.h $ find . -name javacomp.c ./gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/javacomp.c $ find . -name javaversion.h ./gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/javaversion.h Yes, Java keeps evolving. The last among the mentioned patches ought to keep things working when Java 12 is released in 6 months, Java 13 in 12 months, etc. until Java 17. Let's see whether it works out... Bruno
