I don't think that it could be a GNU standards requirement. First, I can't find any evidence of such a requirement in standards.info or maintain.info. Second, more important GNU programs than PSPP, such as coreutils, don't bundle gettext. I hadn't noticed that distcheck did anything special here. Perhaps it only does it if gettext is bundled. I'll prepare a patch for review. -- Ben Pfaff [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
