[bug-gettext] address@hidden: Bug#910246: gettext: FTBFS with Java 11: unknown target-version 11, please update gt_JAVACOMP macro]

[Santiago Vila]

Dear gettext maintainers:

I have received this report from the Debian bug system.

A problem like this was already reported by Emmanuel and fixed in git,
from where I took the fix for the Debian package, but Java keeps
evolving all the time and the fix from March is not enough anymore.

Thanks.

gettext fails to build with Java 11 because the configuration script
doesn't recognize the new version. During the build the following warning
can be seen:

  configure: WARNING: unknown target-version 11, please update gt_JAVACOMP macro
  checking for Java compiler... no

The build later fails with:

  rm -f debian/gettext/usr/share/gettext/libintl.jar
  mv debian/gettext/usr/share/gettext/gettext.jar debian/gettext/usr/share/java
  mv: cannot stat 'debian/gettext/usr/share/gettext/gettext.jar': No such file 
or directory
