I have a question about how to integrate ITS Tool with upstream gettext and Autotools (and Git). I have a branch in GtkSourceView to use upstream gettext and itstool: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtksourceview/log/?h=wip/dont-use-intltool ITS Tool generates *.pot files that can be added to the POTFILES.in. I've tried to not add the generated *.pot files to Git, because generated files should not be added to the version control system. But then there are problems with builddir != srcdir. For tarballs the solution is easy: distribute the generated sub *.pot files in the tarball. But when compiling from the git repository, some make targets don't work with builddir != srcdir. So a solution is to add the generated *.pot files to Git. Is there another solution? The gettext documentation doesn't recommend to add generated files in the POTFILES.in: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/po_002fPOTFILES_002ein.html When a file is present in POTFILES.in, the make target supposes that the file is in srcdir. So adding a make target (in a gettext Rules file that is added to the po/Makefile) to build that file in builddir won't help when builddir != srcdir. Maybe a solution is to modify po/Makefile.in.in, like it is done in GTK+ (but not for using ITS Tool). But I'd rather keep things simple. Is there a recommended way of doing things?
