Which is why I deliberately ensured that the top level make would build all precursor files for make pot to operate. The later changes were to reflect tests on Mac OSX and to ensure that the auto-build of make-gnucash-potfiles AND po/POTFILES.in is trouble free for make install and make distcheck. These changes are already in QOF and pilot-qof and have been tested on three platforms.

(Seeing as the repetitive building of make-gnucash-potfiles and po/POTFILES.in is not automated?) ;-) Now if there are any remaining problems with the changes, I'll gladly fix them, but simply reverting to a SVN file that is ALWAYS changing, breaks the build whenever a file is removed, needs MANUAL updating when new files are added and for which we have a serviceable method of auto-generation - that strikes me as bizarre. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
