Using cygport with no custom src_build function and
CYGCONF_ARGS="--with-openssl --enable-packager-mode", the build fails with
a mysterious message about a mismatched gettext version:
ASchulma@LZ77E1AASCHULMA ~/d/c/lftp> cygport lftp.cygport build
>>> Compiling lftp-4.7.4-1.x86_64
autoreconf-2.69: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf-2.69: running: /usr/bin/autopoint -V 0.19.8.1 --force
autopoint: warning: Version mismatch: specified -V 0.19.8.1 but the package
uses gettext version 0.15. Forcibly upgrading to 0.19.8.1
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac
file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.19.8.1 but

is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.19.8.1 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf-2.69: /usr/bin/autopoint failed with exit status: 1
*** ERROR: autoreconf failed
So it says it wants gettext 0.19.8.1, but "the package uses gettext version
0.15". But I have gettext 0.19.8.1 installed:
ASchulma@LZ77E1AASCHULMA ~/d/c/lftp> cygcheck -c gettext
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
gettext 0.19.8.1-2 OK
Does anyone know what the problem is here?
The last time I built lftp 4.7.3 it worked fine, but now the build of that
fails too, with the same error as above. So this seems to be caused by
autoconf, gettext, or something else in the Cygwin build environment,
rather than by lftp.
Thanks,
Andrew
