Due to +implementation details, this also disabled important data files created via +merge_file, leading to important desktop files etc. not being installed. + +This overreaction has been fixed. It is no longer possible to have NLS-disabled +builds which break the project by not installing important files which have +nothing to do with NLS (other than including some). + +If you were depending on not having the Gettext tools installed and +successfully mis-building your project, you may need to make your project +actually work with NLS disabled, for example by providing some version of your +files which is still installed even when merge_file cannot be run. |
