I kept getting an error when compiling yad. It stopped when checking the intltool version. It checked this by parsing the output of the command intltool-update --version. I checked the yad configure script and all was ok, if you ignore the deprecated back-ticked code!
I ran intltool-update in term and it chucked up an about 8 errors all the same .... Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; ...
So i opened up /usr/local/bin/intltool-update
Code: Select all
\${?AC_PACKAGE_NAME}?/)I changed all instances to
Code: Select all
\$\{?AC_PACKAGE_NAME}?/)that is the $ was escaped '\' but the following brace also needs escaping '\$\{' etc... then it worked as required.
