#1 configure / compile problems

[Anonymous]

Configure is not detecting intltool package correctly and does not find intltool-update.in file.

I've encountered the same bug; the following files are being requested and are not present: intltool-update.in, intltool-extract.in, intltool-merge.in.

It is possible to download these files (of appropriate version) from different projects on the internets, but even if you resolve that one issue, you will find that the program won't compile.

The latest 2008-02-08-alpha has started some transitional work that has never been completed. (See also /src/confParser.h: the initial comments in the header and ChangeLog)

To anyone who is going to use this program, I suggest to try some of the earlier versions (possibly even the 1 day older 2008-02-07-alpha, not tested yet).

EDIT:
The 1 day older 2008-02-07-alpha has the same bug. The 3 above mentioned intltool-*.in files are missing there too.
I downloaded my replacements from:
http://outflux.net/unix/software/gopchop/download/unpacked/gopchop-1.1.8/
These files need to go to the same directory as configure.
Now both configure and make work. The program runs.
