[systemd-devel] [PATCH 2/3] build-sys: disable NLS support if intltool is not found

[Filipe Brandenburger]

IT_PROG_INTLTOOL makes configure fail if intltool is not present.  If we can
not find intltool, then disable NLS (otherwise make in po/ fails since MSGFMT
will not be defined.)

Tested: Built it on a host without intltool.
  $ ./configure --enable-nls
  ...
  checking for intltool-merge... no
  configure: error: --enable-nls requested but intltool not found

  $ ./configure --disable-polkit
  ...
  checking for intltool-merge... no
  configure: WARNING: *** Disabling NLS support because intltool was not found
  checking whether NLS is requested... no
  ...
  $ make
