Description Yevgeniy 2008-10-12 04:02:33 UTC

When building in the directory other than source directory I get an error:
LC_ALL=C /usr/local/bin/intltool-merge -x -u -c ./po/.intltool-merge-cache ../shared-mime-i
nfo/po ../shared-mime-info/freedesktop.org.xml.in freedesktop.org.xml
Generating and caching the translation database
Merging translations into freedesktop.org.xml.
CREATED freedesktop.org.xml
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/unix/build'
warning: failed to load external entity "../shared-mime-info/freedesktop.org.xml"
gmake: *** [check] Error 1


My workaround is to change line 74 in the Makefile.am:
--  xmllint --noout --valid $(srcdir)/freedesktop.org.xml;  \
++  xmllint --noout --valid $(top_builddir)/freedesktop.org.xml;  \

and regeneration of the source directory with autotools (aclocal, autoheader, etc)

* Makefile.am: Fix building when srcdir != builddir,
