[Denemo-devel] xgettext on OSX

[Lee Nelson]

I am trying to compile Denemo on OSX 10.9 just to see if I can get it to build without the whole jhbuild process.  It does indeed compile, but 'make distcheck' fails with the following:

13:44:14 yabloko-100 lnelson:~/src/denemo/bin> make distcheck
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  dist-gzip am__post_remove_distdir='@:'
Generating POT...
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -C "./po" "denemo.pot"
INTLTOOL_EXTRACT="/opt/local/bin/intltool-extract" XGETTEXT=":" srcdir=../../po /opt/local/bin/intltool-update --gettext-package denemo --pot
Can't exec ":": No such file or directory at /opt/local/bin/intltool-update line 713.

 *** GNU xgettext is not found on this system!
 *** Without it, intltool-update can not extract strings.
if test -d "denemo-1.1.9"; then find "denemo-1.1.9" -type d ! -perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -rf "denemo-1.1.9" || { sleep 5 && rm -rf "denemo-1.1.9"; }; else :; fi
test -d "denemo-1.1.9" || mkdir "denemo-1.1.9"
cp: ../po/denemo.pot: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [distdir] Error 1
make: *** [dist] Error 2

However, 'configure' finds xgettext:

checking for xgettext... /opt/local/bin/xgettext
checking for xgettext... (cached) /opt/local/bin/xgettext

 And it is GNU:

13:51:22 yabloko-100 lnelson:~/src/denemo/bin> /opt/local/bin/xgettext --version 
xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.19.2

And execution fails like this:

13:54:18 yabloko-100 lnelson:~/src/denemo/bin/src> ./denemo 
Denemo - MESSAGE : Loading preference file: /Users/lnelson/.denemo-1.1.9/denemorc
Segmentation fault: 11

I executed within an xterm so it would have full access to an X environment if needed.

I installed all the dependencies listed in the "Hacking Sources" page with macports.
