That helps. 'gettextize -f' and "libtoolize -c -f" are needed to create
the needed files, but the further
complains about other things:

"Updating configure.ac (backup is in configure.ac~)
Adding an entry to ChangeLog (backup is in ChangeLog~)

Please update po/Makevars so that it defines all the variables mentioned
in po/Makevars.template.
You can then remove po/Makevars.template.

Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.9 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /usr/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure --disable-nls
option.

Press Return to acknowledge the previous three paragraphs."

If I press Return, the build succeeds. But I wanted a non-interactive
build process and so I added some variables to po/Makevars.

I know, but I wanted to provide a PKGBUILD for "skribilo-git" Arch Linux AUR.

I have one now.

Thanks and best Regards
