Apparently there are some issues. For example, the intltool scripts shipped require an XML parser module for perl. >From what I could gather, they also run-time depend on some runtime tools from gettext. OTOH, I wouldn't necessarily consider this to be such a bad dependency. All users building from source have gcc and other tools, why not gettext. I do agree that intltool is a bit of a pain in the backside. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
