Compilation fails on Debian 8

[Manson]

I have Debian 8.2 Jessie (stable) on my machine. There ar no repos for darkradinat, so i tried compile it by my self.

 

Unfortunately compilation fails with errors:

 

Making all in install/i18n
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ritvars/GameDevelopment/DarkRadiant-master/install/i18n'
test ! -f ./darkradiant.pot || \

fi; \
done

can someone help to fix this? Thanks.

I can confirm that the error occurs. If you don't need the localizations, you can comment out the "install/i18n" folder in Makefile.am, line 3. The build should succeed then.

 

About what has changed in Debian 8 with regard to the .po/.gmo stuff, I don't have any idea at the moment, except for googling the error. Maybe OrbWeaver is inclined to look into it. If stuff fails on a recent Debian distro it's thinkable that Ubuntu is affected too, sooner or later.
