Sorry, but there is no alternative as far as I know. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gettext-*.tar.gz mv: cannot access texinfo.po gnumake[2]: *** [/share/src/gnu/texinfo-3.12/po/texinfo.pot] Error 2 This is due to the various standard automake/autoconf/make rules for gettext. I do not know what Ulrich's plans for them are or when a better version will be released. I agree the current behavior is not optimal. Currently, texinfo-3.12 problems in egcs snapshots block some egcs testers. I suggest removing texinfo from the egcs distribution. Why is it needed? Including your previous mail for Ulrich's benefit ...

I think the following is a bug in the texinfo distribution (here 3.12 as included by egcs's snapshot) : Each (even the smallest) modification of a source file of texinfo-3.12 causes the `recompilation' of getinfo.pot. Therefore xgettext is needed, but it is not provided although it is provided by the gettext distribution that texinfo includes partially.

"/share/src/gnu/texinfo-3.12/info/info.c", line 304: illegal types in : A patch follows. I also get : Making all in po gnumake[2]: Entering directory `/backup/tmp/texinfo/po' PATH=../src:$PATH : --default-domain=texinfo \ --directory=/share/src/gnu/texinfo-3.12 \ --add-comments --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ \ --files-from=/share/src/gnu/texinfo-3.12/po/POTFILES.in rm -f /share/src/gnu/texinfo-3.12/po/texinfo.pot mv texinfo.po /share/src/gnu/texinfo-3.12/po/texinfo.pot mv: cannot access texinfo.po gnumake[2]: *** [/share/src/gnu/texinfo-3.12/po/texinfo.pot] Error 2 for which I have no patch ready (either include also the src directory of gettext and set XGETTEXT to xgettext, not $(XGETTEXT) in Makefile.in.in, either look if the po directory is needed here). Could you look at that and make a new texinfo distribution including the next gettext snapshot that could be included by egcs's snapshots. Currently, texinfo-3.12 problems in egcs snapshots block some egcs testers. Thanks in advance Philippe De Muyter
