Does git for Windows come with (an incomplete) autopoint 0.19.8.1? :eyes:

I'm building in GitHub actions, if it helps - here's the list of software: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/Windows2019-Readme.md

Is https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/gettextize-and-autopoint.html relevant?

At least it indicates that env AUTOPOINT might be used to enforce vcpkg's installation of autopoint.

@dg0yt would you have an idea on how to fix this?

@dg0yt, would you have an idea?

[dg0yt]

I think the hints were already given. It may be necessary to work with the AUTOPOINT variable when building hunspell.

@vadi2 , Can you try it locally? We don't have the environment to reproduce your problem

[vadi2]

You do - it's a standard github actions windows runner, accessible to everyone.

Happy to try it out though. What exactly should I do? Please describe it step by step.

[vadi2]

Confirmed fixed, thank you!
