avahi build failure on intltool-update
Hello,
With the attached .config, I get the following build failure on avahi (and I must leave so I don't have the time to dig into it now) :
=============================================================================================
checking for intltool >= 0.35.0... ./configure: line 28714: intltool-update: command not found
found
configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.
=============================================================================================
Looks strange to me, since intltool isn't packaged at all in Buildroot, and I know that Peter is using avahi regularly. Peter, in bc9512c09d59d731a2ad0b96ce778ca8f90964c1, you made some changes regarding locale/gettext/intl support in avahi. Can you explain how these things work, and maybe why intltool-update seems to be required in my config ?
The configure.ac on avahi seems pretty clear that intltool is required in any case.
The full build log is available at

(bz2 compressed, because it is 25M uncompressed).
Cheers,
Thomas

This problem occurs with several other packages as well, if intltool is not installed on the host system.
Two options :
1. Build intltool. intltool depends on Perl and the XML::Parser Perl module. Which of these do we build, and which of these do we require ?
2. Depend on intltool unconditionnally in toolchain/dependencies/depencies.sh. This is the simplest solution, but would mean that all of our users would have to install intltool even if they don't build one the packages using it.
3. Depend on intltool only if one of the packages needing it is enabled. But we could still do the check at the beginning of the build process.
Which solution?
Cheers,
Thomas
