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. */
#undef ENABLE_NLS
