GMSGFMT not given value in po/Makefile
Submitted by Don Blaheta
Link to original bug (#535017)
Description
Please describe the problem: I downloaded the SVN repository and ran autogen as indicated, but when I went to make the files, it stalled in the po/ directory due to a missing value for GMSGFMT. (It manifests as a shell error "no such command '-o'"; I had to look in the makefile to discover the root cause.) Googling around suggested that putting the MSGFMT value in for GMSGFMT as well would fix it, and it seems to have done, but hand-editing a makefile is obviously just a workaround, so I wanted to report it.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run ./autogen.sh
- (po/Makefile has "GMSGFMT = " with no value)
- Run ./configure
- (Still no value)
- Run make
Actual results: Make terminates while building the po/ files with the following error:
file=echo am | sed 's,.*/,,'
.gmo
&& rm -f $file && -o $file am.po
/bin/sh: line 1: -o: command not found
Expected results:
Does this happen every time? Yes.
Other information: (I'm running on a PPC Mac running OS X 10.4.)
