can't recompile CVS since a few days

I've did everything, including complete removal of my sandbox and downloading from CVS everything.
I get this:
rm -f ca/wesnoth-trow.gmo && : -c --statistics -o ca/wesnoth-trow.gmo ca/wesnoth-trow.po
mv: cannot stat `ca/wesnoth-trow.gmo.tmp': No such file or directory

How do you update your CVS checkout?

cvs -z3 update -dP ?

Yes, but the clean download was made using this line:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.nongnu.org:/cvsroot/wesnoth co wesnoth

Exactly this, as i made it a script and copied it from that file.

The problem was that i had no gettext.
After installing 3 packages (including java runtime???) the compilation started.

Maybe some warning in the configure process could be issued about the missing gettext stuff?

you should really consider something useless has been installed

Rather, the no-gettext case has to be fixed

Downloaded cvs yesterday with the command line provided in download page. Compiled perfectly.

No wonder, obviously you got gettext.
I needed to download gettext, libgcj and zip.
I really wonder about libgcj.

You mean wesnoth was supposed to still compile without gettext?
Btw, the compilation is now significantly slower, it wasn't a lightning before but now it is really, really sluggish.

Yes, a gettext implementation is embedded for systems not having it natively.

Its use can be forced with the --with-included-gettext option of configure, but this shouldn't be required, configure being able to detect if gettext is present or not.
