Hi All,

I believe someone changed the build library requirements and whoever uses Cygwin (for windows) can probably help me out as far as locating a mirror for download using cygwin.exe for the new required gettext version (0.16.1).

I got the following error while running configure-vlc.sh:

+ autopoint -f
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac
file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.16.1 but this version
is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.16.1 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.

Brand new error just happened in the last 24hrs. Does anyone know of a Cygwin mirror I can point the setup.exe to? Either that or reverse the change.

Also, I tried sending this to the dev group but the email system appears broken or perhaps I am filtered because of my provider (yahoo)? I did detect some awful yahoo ads at the bottom of my email that I did not put in. The second email did not appear to have an ad in my sent box.

Regards,
-Tony

I've the same problem as you, so if you got an answer, please share it here
I'm trying to find a new gettext version for cygwin but it doesn't seem to exist for now...

Ever find the solution to this? Having the same issue.

I've the same problem as you
you can download gettext-0.16.1.tar.gz souce code,and
./configure
make
make install
can solve this problem.
