Hi all,
When I tried to build the current Gnucash from the master branch on
Ubuntu 16.04 using cmake I came across a problem during the
configuration step:
I ran cmake with “cmake -G Ninja ../gnucash” and got the following error:
-- Using guile-2.0.x
-- Checking for GTEST
-- Checking for GMOCK
/usr/bin/xgettext: error while opening
"../gnucash/import-export/qif-imp/qif-merge-groups.scmgnucash/import-export/qif-imp/qif-objects.scm"
for reading: No such file or directory
ERROR: xgettext failed to generate PO template file. Please consult
error message above if there is any.
CMake Error at po/CMakeLists.txt:168 (MESSAGE):
Error when creating gnucash.pot: 1
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I then noticed that the generated file po/POTFILES.in in the source
directory contained the following line, which is missing a newline:
gnucash/import-export/qif-imp/qif-merge-groups.scmgnucash/import-export/qif-imp/qif-objects.scm
So there seems to be a problem in the code that generates
po/POTFILES.in. The following patch seems to resolve the issue, the
build ran fine afterwards.
diff --git a/po/CMakeLists.txt b/po/CMakeLists.txt
index 6b7ec7b..69ce8d9 100644

FILE(WRITE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/POTFILES.in.in "${SORT_IN}")

Could you please check if you can bring this fix to master?
Best regards,
Michael
