SYNOPSIS
intltoolize [option]...
DESCRIPTION
This prepares a package to use intltool by linking or copying various files needed by intltool into place for use when building. Note that
you must change your working directory to the top level directory of the package before running intltoolize.
OPTIONS --automake
Work silently and assume that automake is being used in software.
-c
--copy
Copy files rather than creating symbolic links to them.
--debug
Enable verbose shell tracing.
-n
--dry-run

intltoolize - prepare a source code tree to use the intltool utilities
SYNOPSIS
intltoolize [--automake] [--copy] [--debug] [--dry-run] [--force] [--help] [--version]
DESCRIPTION
intltoolize prepares a package to use the intltool utilities. intltoolize links or copies various files needed by the intltool utilities to
the appropriate location, for use when building the package. You must change your working directory to the top-level directory of the pack-
age before running intltoolize.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--automake Work silently, and assume that Automake is in use.
--copy Copy files, instead of creating symbolic links to the files. You can also use -c to specify this option.
--debug Enable verbose shell tracing.
--dry-run Print the commands but do not run the commands. You can also use -n to specify this option.
--force Replace existing files. You can also use -f to specify this option.
--help Show usage and basic help information.
--version Show version information.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using intltoolize and the intltool Utilities
To use intltoolize and the intltool utilities, perform the following steps:
1. Install intltool. Ensure that the macro installed by intltool is in the aclocal path, or run the following command
example% export ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I /usr/local/share/aclocal'
2. Add the following lines to the autogen.sh file, after the call to gettextize:
echo "Running intltoolize"
intltoolize --copy --force --automake
3. Add the following line to the configure.in file, near the top of the file:
AC_PROG_INTLTOOL([minimum required version])
4. Add intltool-extract.in, intltool-merge.in, and intltool-update.in to the EXTRA_DIST entry in your top-level Makefile.am file, and also
to the top-level .cvsignore file. Also add the non-.in versions to the .cvsignore file.
5. Remove the po/desk.pl and po/update.* scripts, if present in your source tree. The intltool-update utility will perform equivalent
functions.
At this point, translatable strings will be automatically extracted to the .po files.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Application exited successfully
>0 Application exited with failure
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
/usr/bin/intltoolize The command-line executable for the application.
