Hi David,

The autopoint dependency was introduced as part of the cleanup of the configuration scripts. We now use the upstream gettext rather than the gnome version. Autopoint is part of the standard gettext infrastructure, so it should be available on all target distributions.

Let me know if there are any build issues.

Thanks,

Alex

The build procedure was broken:

make

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?
