gettext warning when I'm compiling

**nethero** · November 25th, 2011

I'm trying to compile amule. I run ./configure in the amule directory and I get this warning....

Code:

  **** General Libraries and Tools ****
  Should ccache support be enabled?                          no
  Libraries aMule will use to build:
                             wxWidgets             2.8.12 (gtk2,shared)
                             crypto++              5.6.0 (installed, in /usr)
                             libupnp               1.6.6
                             libintl               Not detected
                             zlib                  1.2.3.3


 *** Warnings during configuration ***

* You need to install GNU gettext/gettext-tools to compile aMule with i18n
  support.

I have gettext installed, I can see it is installed when I open synaptic. What package am I missing?

same problem.
My configure options:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/home/myname/amule/bin --enable-debug --enable-optimize --with-denoise-level=3 --enable-upnp --enable-geoip --enable-nls --enable-amule-gui --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --enable-alcc --enable-alc --enable-cas --enable-wxcas --enable-mmap --with-wxdir=/home/myname/amule/wx/build

output:

 *** Warnings during configuration ***

* You need to install GNU gettext/gettext-tools to compile aMule with i18n
  support.

you can see: no i18n support , and "libintl" is not detected , how to fix it? Or, do these matter?

`dpkg -l | grep gettext` gives me :

Code:

ii  gettext                                0.18.1.1-3ubuntu1                          GNU Internationalization utilities
ii  gettext-base                            0.18.1.1-3ubuntu1                          GNU Internationalization  utilities for the base system
ii  liblocale-gettext-perl                  1.05-6build1                               Using libc functions for  internationalization in Perl
ii  po-debconf                              1.0.16+nmu1                                tool for managing templates  file translations with gettext

So gettext has been installed.
Thank you!

I compiled anyway and amule seems to work. I never was able to get this issue resolved. One of my friends also has 10.04 and was able to compile the same version of amule without this error. Unfortunately, I did not get list of the packages installed on his computer so comparisons are impossible. I'll track this some more later if I have the time, but for now amule is up and working.
