[sane-devel] XSane 0.90: Missing gettext produces hard to understand error-message when compiling

[Gerfried Maier]

It took me a while to figure out what the problem was. The "no" from 
configure seems to be treated as gmsgfmt-command.

A cut from the output of configure:

[...]
checking whether catgets can be used... no
checking for msgfmt... (cached) no
checking for gmsgfmt... no
checking for xgettext... :
checking for catalogs to be installed...  cs da de es fr it ja nl pt 
pt_BR ro ru sk sl sr sv vi tr
checking for sane-config... /usr/local/bin/sane-config
[...]


The making of...

[...]
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/moali/src/xsane-0.90/src'

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/moali/src/xsane-0.90/po'

/bin/sh: line 1: no: command not found
