address@hidden: Bug#110264: parted_1.4.17-1 fails to autobuild on m68k]

[Timshel Knoll]

Hi Andrew et al,

Just recieved this bug report - can you see any reason why this would be
happening? It seems pretty wierd, considering that it built fine on all
other architectures ...

The problem seems to be that config.status is looking for the absolute
path /po/POFILES.in, which of course doesn't exist. I don't have the
config.status that was used in the build, but I am now having a similar
problem on my box: $ac_given_srcdir is not set:

          if test -f "$ac_srcdir/$ac_dir/POTFILES.in"; then
            rm -f "$ac_dir/POTFILES"
            echo creating "$ac_dir/POTFILES"
            sed -e "/^#/d" -e "/^[      ]*\$/d" -e "s,.*,     $top_srcdir/& 
\\\\," -e "\$s/\(.*\) \\\\/\1/" < "$ac_given_srcdir/$ac_dir/POTFILES.in" > 
"$ac_dir/POTFILES"
            echo creating "$ac_dir/Makefile"
            sed -e "/POTFILES =/r $ac_dir/POTFILES" "$ac_dir/Makefile.in" > 
"$ac_dir/Makefile"
          fi

As you can see, the test is for $ac_srcdir/$ac_dir/POFILES.in, but the
sed command is passed $ac_given_srcdir ... seems like this is probably
an autoconf/gettext issue

Cheers,

Timshel
