"./setup build" traceback, and failing to build activity locale from po

[garycmartin]

Tested in Fedora F13 with the sugar desktop packages installed (Mirabelle), F14 Soas nightly build (Mango Lassi), and a Dextrose os373pyg XO-1 build. When trying to run ./setup build in an Activity directory to generate the locale from the po, the attached traceback is generated. Downloading/installing .xo bundles (via Browse or clicking on a .xo bundle in the Journal) is also not generating any locale files.

Testing this same process in an 802 or 852 build, ./setup build, correctly generates the locale files.

Is this a known change in behaviour in Sugar for bundlebuilder, or is it an issue of some missing package on the distro side?

looks like msgfmt from gettext package was not installed

Please try:

sudo yum install gettext

Replying to bernie:

Please try:

sudo yum install gettext

Yes this resolves the issue, locale directories and the .mo files are building again. Tested the fix in Soas and Dextrose. How do we make sure this dependancy gets included?
