This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_iwXgI/aPxA4jcG3skxPtQQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I've attached your previous emails and added gnome@FreeBSD.org (the listed intltool maintainer) it looks suspiciously like a mailing list, but since I know nothing of m4 or intltool and you don't use FreeBSD, I don't think either of us can create a usefull bug report on this issue (I definitely can't since I don't understand the problem). At the very least, I would expect an authorative answer from gnome@ For gnome@, this discussion is regarding the patch in games/freedink-dfarc apparently, $(DATADIRNAME) is "lib" in this case.

Resources are essentially a .zip file appened to the executable (+ some index relocation). Just 'unzip -l /usr/bin/freedink' :) >> Btw, your choice of options is actually the default :) > > Hah!

Well configure does what tell him to :) In FreeDink I made sure that the dependency configuration wasn't "guessed" from the system, but specified from the command-line options. If you don't have libzip or zzip installed, ./configure will fail (unless you explicitely disabled embedded resources). Or there's a bug in my code ;) if test x"$enable_embedded_resources" = x"yes"; then if test "$LACK_LIBZIP" = 1 -a "$LACK_ZZIPLIB" = 1; then echo "* You need to install libzip or ZZipLib (or --disable-embedded-resources)." error=1 fi if test -z "$ZIP"; then echo "* The 'zip' utility cannot be found. Please install it (or --disable-embedded-resources)." error=1 fi fi > I seem to remember only a ZIP archive being available on one and a > tarball being available on the other. I didn't upload .zip version at ftp.gnu.org essentially out of lazyness, but they are the same than the .tar.gz or .tar.bz2. > Ok, I've subscribed there...

I only added a way to disable it for distros that enforce stripping executables after the build process, which removes embedded resources anyway. UPX (like --static) is mainly used to generate compact executables for direct download (e.g. .exe), but it's not very useful for distros indeed. Btw, your choice of options is actually the default :) > Also, I noticed that the main site and the GNU mirror sites have > different sets of files.
