Hello, I need help with compiling midnight commander so that I can make some changes (for educational purposes). Or even creating the make files.

After downloading latest version from git. I try to perform ./autogen.sh . Result is:

maint/autopoint: 418: cannot open /usr/share/gettext/archive.tar.gz: No such file
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
cvs checkout: cannot find module `archive' - ignored
find: `archive': No such file or directory
find: `archive': No such file or directory
find: `archive': No such file or directory
autopoint: *** infrastructure files for version 0.14.3 not found; this is autopoint from GNU gettext-tools 0.17
autopoint: *** Stop.

I have installed gettext and folder /usr/share/gettext does exist. But there is no archive.tar.gz. I have no idea what should this archive contain or where to get it.

Can you help me please?
