Any ideas on how to approach this undefined > variable, or just try 'echo' in configure? This bug is very likely not an Autoconf bug, but an issue with third-party Autoconf macros. Presumably, AC_PROG_INTLTOOL comes from GNOME's intltool package, and the MSGFMT setting from some gettext macros. That's where you should probably continue searching.
Thanks for the pointer. I was not able to determine the root cause of this after looking through other macros, but adding 'AC_PATH_PROG(MSGFMT, msgfmt, msgfmt)' in my configure.ac seemed to work around this problem.
Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
Yup, thanks! , John _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
