Sorry for any confusion. I'll use quotes to mark the actual rules and files: I originally DID only modify the 'make pot' rule (to solve the initial problem reported by Tor Harald - build 'po/POTFILES.in' by running './make-gnucash-potfiles' when a pot file was needed). Then Chris Shoemaker prompted me to think about whether we needed 'po/POTFILES.in' at all and I realised that the same command could become automatic and remove the need for 'po/POTFILES.in' in svn (because it would be overwritten anyway, causing the problems with svn status). As 'make pot' could make 'po/POTFILES.in', it was a small step to move one command from that rule to a target that was seen by 'make all', leaving 'make pot' to just do that - make 'po/gnucash.pot'. I haven't modified the rule to *build* 'make-gnucash-potfiles' - it was always made by 'make' - I've simply ensured that './make-gnucash-potfiles' is *executed* after being built by 'make' to create 'po/POTFILES.in'. One critical element: In the top level Makefile.am, . for the current directory, must precede po. This is already in place for gnucash but I did have to modify this in another project - so I thought I'd note it here that this sequence (like many others) is important. Shall we now remove the 'po/POTFILES.in' stub? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
