For the past few days, I have been having problems compiling Inkscape from CVS. First, the error involved pt_BR.po. Now, it is choking on it.po:1989: message catalog has plural form translations... it.po:10: ...but header entry lacks a "nplurals=INTEGER" attribute make[2]: *** [it.gmo] Error 1
I am running Fedora Core 3, fully updated. When I installed, I installed EVERY package, so there should be no issues with missing devel packages. One other thing: up until recently, I have had no problems compiling Inkscape from CVS on this computer.
Not reproducible here.
Because you can pin down exactly when you no longer could compile CVS, it should be easy for you to tell which changes of CVS evoke the problem for you. So you have a workaround.
Hello, Ralf First of all, thank you for responding. I must say that you give me more credit that I deserve, since I actually can't pin down when this started. Therefore, I have no idea how to come up with a workaround. One idea that I have had in scouring the error messages, and the ./configure --help output, is that perhaps if I could just not compile the po/gettext stuff. Since I only speak one language, I think I could do without that stuff. But there does not SEEM to be an option I can pass to configure to not compile that stuff. If I were compiling, let's say Bibletime for KDE, I would just delete "pot" from the file named "subdirs", resave that file as "inst-apps" and re-compile. Then, the "pot" files would not be compiled. I saw nothing that simple in the source tree for Inkscape. Then I had the idea about seeing which *.po file "make" was choking on, and download an older (since I have no idea when this exactly started) revision. This would just result in "make" choking on a different one. You know, I think I will just try that until I can't proceed any further, and see what happens.
As to the cause, note that it appears no other people have reported the problem. To be 100% sure, please use the bug tracker with all your given information.
After I get some better info on this issue, I will file it on the bug tracker.
