What is the problem here is that po/Makefile (after po/Makefile is created) says: ------------------------------------------------------------- 212 Makefile POTFILES: stamp-it 213 @if test ! -f $@; then \ 214 rm -f stamp-it; \ 215 $(MAKE) stamp-it; \ 216 fi 217 218 stamp-it: Makefile.in.in $(top_builddir)/config.status POTFILES.in 219 cd $(top_builddir) \ 220 && CONFIG_FILES=$(subdir)/Makefile.in CONFIG_HEADERS= CONFIG_LINKS= \ 221 $(SHELL) ./config.status ------------------------------------------------------------- So, po/Makefile expects that po/stamp-it exists and po/stamp-it expects that it is created by config.status, however config.status does not create po/stamp-it, which will cause occasional infinite loop. Note that config.status is created by configure. Then configure.in says: ------------------------------------------------------------- 29 dnl Add the languages which your application supports here. 30 ALL_LINGUAS="af ar cs da de es et eu fa fi fr gl hr hu id it ja ko lt ml ms nb nl nn pl ps pt pt_BR ru sk sl sv tr uk ur ur_PK vi zh_CN zh_TW" 31 AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT ------------------------------------------------------------- So this configure uses glib's gettext method, however po/ directory uses "stamp-it" method Makefile.in.in, which is actually based on /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in in intltool and not /usr/share/glib-2.0/gettext/po/Makefile.in.in in glib2-devel. So po/Makefile.in.in needs fixing, however the easiest workaround is: -------------------------------------------------------------- %build %configure touch -r po/Makefile po/stamp-it make %{?_smp_mflags} -------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Mamoru -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
