I ran into a problem when installing from svn. I got "invalid variable
interpolation" errors for Wrappers.pm. I added the flag '--extract-all' to
'po/Makefile' and 'po/t' to the xgettext line. Once I did that I was able
to make and make test just fine. --HarleyPig
It would be helpful if you could post the actual error message you saw.
Also would be nice to know what versions of perl and gettext you have.
Perhaps your xgettext is an older version from before it natively
supported perl.
Adding --extract-all doesn't seem like a good idea, since this causes it
to treat every string in the entire wiki as translatable. I don't know
what you're talking about regarding 'po/t'. --[[Joey]]

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i686-linux
Sorry about the po/t report ... it was the test file I used to figure out what was wrong and I forgot to remove it. This is against the subversion repository, version 2338.
The referenced line has a $! variable, which the documentation for gettext indicates is the problem.
Ok, I think that you need to upgrade xgettext to 0.16. However, there's
no reason why you should need to rebuild the pot file anyway, so I've
checked it into svn, and that's one problem [[bugs/done]].
FWIW, I get the same error when building manually from SVN trunk on Ubuntu Edgy. I'm also using xgettext 0.15, because it's the latest version that's in the repos. However,
I don't think that's the sole problem because I can build fine on another (Debian) box which is running 0.14.4... I know very little about gettext, but could this be
related to my language settings? On the Edgy box I have LANGUAGE=en_GB:en and LANG=en_GB.UTF-8. The ikiwiki package installs on Edgy with no problems. --Ben
You'll only see the problem if it needs to rebuild po/ikiwiki.pot,
which it generally doesn't if you're just building the package. If
you edit files and build, it will rebuilt the pot and then fail with
older gettexts. --[[Joey]]
I guess I'm confused then, because I do get that error when I just build. :-( To reproduce:
svn co svn://ikiwiki.kitenet.net/ikiwiki/trunk ikiwiki
cd ikiwiki
perl Makefile.PL
make
Then I see:
Other than installing a newer version of gettext from outside of the repos, is there any workaround?
It's probably because you're pulling it from svn, and I don't
always update the pot file every time I commit to svn. So this will
affect svn checkouts, but not released tarballs. Anyway, I put in a
workaround.. [[bugs/done]] --[[Joey]]
