Misleading error message in configure script

[oh_noes]

On the following OS:

# uname -a
SunOS hostname 5.11 151.0.1.8 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
# cat /etc/release
                      Oracle Solaris 11 Express snv_151a X86

                           Assembled 04 November 2010

Using the below:

CFLAGS='-L/usr/local/libevent/lib -R/usr/local/libevent/lib -std=gnu99' \
CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/libevent/include -I/usr/local/curl/include' \
LIBCURL_CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/curl/include' \
LIBCURL_LIBS='-L/usr/local/curl/lib -lcurl -lidn -lssl -lcrypto -lldap -lsocket -lnsl -lz' \
LIBEVENT_CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/libevent/include' \
LIBEVENT_LIBS='-L/usr/local/libevent/lib -R/usr/local/libevent/lib -levent -lrt' \
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/transmission --enable-daemon --enable-cli --disable-nls --disable-mac --disable-gtk --with-zlib="/usr/local/lib" --with-zlib-includes="/usr/local/include"

make
make install

transmission-2.33 works without a problem. I also had no problems configuration or compiling previous versions to this.

Since 2.42, it no longer works. transmission-2.42 fails with the following error:

configure: error: "The gtk client cannot be built without nls support.  Try adding either --enable-nls or --disable-gtk"

This in incorrect behaviour. As you can see, I am passing in --disable-gtk. Removing --disable-nls allows it to continue, but then it fails with another error. Because I'm passing in LIBCURL_ and LIBEVENT_ it shouldn't be checking for intltool.

checking for intltool >= 0.35.0... ./configure: line 18401: intltool-update: not found
 found
configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.

config.log for both attached.

The configure option changed from --disable-gtk to --without-gtk.

I don't know if this was documented somewhere, but ./configure --help does show it and at the top of the messages there's usually an "unknown option --disable-gtk".

Thank you. Using --without-gtk worked with a problem.

What threw me off was the error message:

configure: error: "The gtk client cannot be built without nls support.  Try adding either --enable-nls or --disable-gtk"

This error message should be replaced to say --without-gtk. If this was the case I would have noticed it quicker.

I've fixed the error message in r13079. :)
