For branch lp988601 today doing
bzr revert bzr update
The build procedure was broken:
make
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/bash /usr/local/src/inkscape_lp988601/missing --run aclocal-1.11 cd . && /bin/bash /usr/local/src/inkscape_lp988601/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign configure.ac:19: required directory ./build-aux does not exist configure.ac:64: required file `build-aux/compile' not found configure.ac:64: `automake --add-missing' can install `compile' configure.ac:20: required file `build-aux/config.guess' not found configure.ac:20: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess' configure.ac:176: required file `build-aux/config.rpath' not found configure.ac:20: required file `build-aux/config.sub' not found configure.ac:20: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub' configure.ac:22: required file `build-aux/install-sh' not found configure.ac:22: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh' configure.ac:38: required file `build-aux/ltmain.sh' not found configure.ac:22: required file `build-aux/missing' not found configure.ac:22: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing' share/palettes/Makefile.am:34: foreach i,$(palettes_i18n: non-POSIX variable name share/palettes/Makefile.am:34: (probably a GNU make extension) src/Makefile.am: required file `build-aux/depcomp' not found src/Makefile.am: `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp' make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
Which did not tell me much, so tried
./autogen.sh
and that complained about not having "autopoint". OK, install it, even though I have no idea what it might be needed for:
apt-get install autopoint ./autogen.sh
and autogen.sh ran to completion. Now make works again
make clean make
The latter is building now, will not know for an hour or so if it succeeds.
Conclusion - some change in trunk (merged into lp988601) added a dependency on autopoint. The man page for it says:
autopoint - copies standard gettext infrastructure
Why do we need that now when we didn't before?
