What does it mean? > > Julien > I do not know what it mean, but I had similar problems (well, it looks similar to me, in this world you never knows) and had to use two steps to correct it: 1. Add the full path to the tools/xml2po file when running ./autogen.sh: ./autogen.sh (...) *XML2PO=absolute/path/to/tools/xml2po* 2. Comment out the symlink test in the HTML IMAGE section of Makefile (without extension) and : # Cygwin html/%/images: FORCE /*#* $(cmd) test -h $@ && rm -f $@/ $(cmd) test -d $@ && rm -rf $@/* || $(MKDIR_P) $@ ... I am using Cygwin. Perhaps the problem is different in plain Linux? (I think Ulf-D has a better explanation/solution when he has finished his updating).
