Hi Torsten,
With the official 4.8
release, I don't encounter any problems in this respect.
Oh, I didn't realize you were talking about the built-from-CVS version.
For me, (export LANG=de; makeinfo --version) does *not* print German
even with the released 4.8. Shouldn't that work? Does it work for you?
(I also tried fr and other languages.) In fact, I get no translations
for other programs (eg, grep), not just makeinfo. I must be doing
something very wrong. I'm baffled.
However, "make" doesn't make those *.gmo files that are apparently
necessary for the translation. I see no error messages, only with
"make install".
I'm not doing anything special in the Makefiles, all this stuff is being
generated by automake+autoconf+gettext. I guess something else needs to
happen to build the .gmo's, but I don't understand enough to know what,
offhand. Can you look into it?
After they're made, maybe it's also necessary to somehow install/symlink
the files in the Texinfo source hier to somewhere that gettext will find
them?
I have autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.1.
That seems fine. I have automake 1.9.5 but I can't imagine that's the
problem. The gettext version is probably the most relevant, but again,
I doubt that's the problem.
Sorry ...
karl
