It just checks for gnu gettext. All it calls is AC_PATH_PROG(PROGRAM, program) to find the tools, and then calls some of the commands with --version to check that they are actually GNU tools. If your error is "checking for gettext >= FOO... no" then I would guess the app itself is checking for the tools separately, and that is failing. The intltool.m4 doesn't have "FOO" in it anywhere. -- Rodney _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
