13.4.10 config.h.in at top level

The include file template that holds the C macros to be defined by configure is usually called config.h.in and may be maintained either manually or automatically.

If gettextize has created an intl/ directory, this file must be called config.h.in and must be at the top level. If, however, you have suppressed the intl/ directory by calling gettextize without ‘--intl’ option, then you can choose the name of this file and its location freely.

If it is maintained automatically, by use of the ‘autoheader’ program, you need to do nothing about it. This is the case in particular if you are using GNU automake.

If it is maintained manually, and if gettextize has created an intl/ directory, you should switch to using ‘autoheader’. The list of C macros to be added for the sake of the intl/ directory is just too long to be maintained manually; it also changes between different versions of GNU gettext.

If it is maintained manually, and if on the other hand you have suppressed the intl/ directory by calling gettextize without ‘--intl’ option, then you can get away by adding the following lines to config.h.in:

/* Define to 1 if translation of program messages to the user's
   native language is requested. */
