The problem is that build-aux/git-version-gen was mistakenly not included in that version.  That should be fixed in the 0.19.4 release after this commit:

Apologies, this also happens in gettext-tools, as seen by the attached patch, which I did not mention.

Dear GNU gettext devs,

I have found that when attempting to cross-compile for mingw32 under debian x86_64, I get the following errors when building getext-0.19.3, as unpacked with dpkg-source -x  on  gettext_0.189.3-2

I get:
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/bash /home/pcuser/mingw32/deps/gettext-0.19.3/build-aux/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4 -I ../m4 -I gnulib-m4
sh: 1: ../build-aux/git-version-gen: not found
configure.ac:25: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments
/usr/share/aclocal-1.14/init.m4:29: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
configure.ac:25: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal-1.14: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
Makefile:1275: recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed
make[2]: * [aclocal.m4] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pcuser/mingw32/deps/gettext-0.19.3/gettext-runtime'



This seems to stem from the use of AC_INIT in the gettext-runtime subfolder, where no version number is supplied. The attached patch seems to "fix" the problem (and is likely not doing it correctly). I am uncertain if this is the root cause, as I am hardcoding the version number which seems not quite right.

Also, I note that the primary gettext configure.ac does not supply a version number either - I don't understand why this is needed in one and not the other. I assume this is because aclocal is not running on the base configure?

Thanks!
