Non-recursive automake vs. gettext

[John Darrington]

Hi Ralf and others,

I like to use a non-recursive makefile structure for my projects.  However, if 
the project also uses gettext, I end up having to constantly fight against both
gettext and auto{conf,make}.

If AM_GNU_GETTEXT appears in the configure.ac file, then automake refuses to 
run, but gives the error:

 configure.ac:336: required file `po/Makefile.in' not found
 Makefile.am:5: AM_GNU_GETTEXT used but `po' not in SUBDIRS

There are ways to circumvent this of course.  But I think that automake should 
not do this if  subdir-options is specified in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS

Regards,


John
