[PATCH] Fix IT_PROG_INTLTOOL failing if intltool is not installed

Reported by: Adys Owned by:

Component: Transmission Version: 2.42
Severity: Normal Keywords:

Description

The attached patch fixes IT_PROG_INTLTOOL being compiled by autoconf into a syntax error.

If IT_PROG_INTLTOOL is not defined, autoconf will just compile it into IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0,no-xml), which is completely invalid shell and will error out if intltool is not installed.

Since transmission supports builds with --disable-nls, it's reasonable to check if IT_PROG_INTLTOOL is defined before compiling it.

Adys pointed out in IRC that the above patch is the first version -- the second version, ​http://dedimine.com/public/transmission-intltool.patch, was not included in trac.

Also from IRC:

<Adys> jordan: btw, if --enable-nls is given and intltool is missing, configure will keep going and build will fail at make. its better than before but it should fail gracefully at configure time instead

IMO this is just trading one problem for another. Would it be possible for you to revise the patch s.t. it does fail gracefully iff intltool is missing when --enable-nls is passed in?

That third patch fails gracefully if intltool is missing and advises the user to --disable-nls or install intltool and run autogen.sh again.
