No. That's what my top level Makefile.am changes arranged - the make-gnucash-potfiles script is auto-generated by make, the same target also RUNS make-gnucash-potfiles and generates po/POTFILES.in po/POTFILES.in IS under our control - it was never under direct control from po/ The po/ Makefile symlink only uses whatever WE provide for POTFILES.in to generate POTFILES. > Err, what does a stub help here?

The adapted Makefile.am allows make (the simple, plain, no special target, make) to build both make-gnucash-potfiles AND po/POTFILES.in > This is what gettextize conventions are, so > we have to stick to that.

PLEASE can we remove the po/POTFILES.in stub - it is a travesty. It cannot be ignored by SVN, it trips svn status EVERY time make is run. IT'll get accidentally committed dozens of times. Having any po/POTFILES.in in SVN is a mistake. It's OUR file to build and build it we (now) do. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
