NAME

       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
