make fails without pybabel

[ayleph]

Trying to compile a fresh install of latest master results in an error if pybabel isn't installed on the system.

(mediagoblin-0.8.0) ~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ make
./devtools/compile_translations.sh
./devtools/compile_translations.sh: line 40: pybabel: command not found
Makefile:118: recipe for target 'i18n' failed
make: *** [i18n] Error 127

To get around this, I executed the following command from within my virtualenv.

(mediagoblin-0.8.0) ~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ pip install Babel

And in case it matters, I ran the fresh install as:

~ $ mkdir mediagoblin-0.8.0
~ $ cd mediagoblin-0.8.0/
~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ git clone https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin.git .
~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ virtualenv2 --system-site-packages .
~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ source bin/activate
(mediagoblin-0.8.0) ~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ ./bootstrap.sh
(mediagoblin-0.8.0) ~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ ./configure --without-virtualenv
(mediagoblin-0.8.0) ~/mediagoblin-0.8.0 $ make

This is an interesting issue. setup.py lists as a requirement Babel>=1.3; however, make calls setup.py after i18n, which wants to use pybabel to build the translations. Can we change the order of operations in Makefile?

Good sleuthing, ayleph! Should be possible. I'll look at that now.

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Hm, so ./configure && make should install ./bin/pybabel, though it won't if you ran --without-virtualenv, in which case it'll expect one to be on the $PATH. Did you use --without-virtualenv?

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Okay my last comment was dumb, I didn't notice that you *did* say --without-virtualenv, but also had properly sourced your own virtualenv.

I'll give such a setup a try.

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Now that I think about it, this isn't surprising behavior. --without-virtualenv means that the system isn't setting up a virtualenv or etc for you, it's up to *you* to provide the dependencies. pybabel is such a dependency.

Maybe we can do something to improve warnings if --without-virtualenv is run so that it more stringently checks for system packages in the ./configure step, though I'm not entirely sure how to go about that.
