Quoting Neil Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If
Christian's concern was that `make pot' no longer suffices on its own,
then I think we can solve that by just saying:
pot: Makefile
+ ${MAKE} make-gnucash-potfiles
rm -f intl-scm/guile-strings.c
make -C intl-scm
rm -f po/$(PACKAGE).pot
make -C po $(PACKAGE).pot
Sounds good to me. It would be nice to have 'make pot' as standalone.
Don't do this recursively... just do:
pot: Makefile po/POTFILES.in
rm -f ...
...
po/POTFILES.in: make-gnucash-potfiles .potfiles
<run make-gnucash-potfiles> > po/POTFILES
.potfiles:
I couldn't find a way of running 'make' in non-recursive mode and a gnucash
make is quite a lengthy process.
There are always ways to make "make" run non-recursively...
You just have to understand the magic of Make. See above. :)
Are there any translatable strings in other g-wrap generated files?
As long as
gnucash.pot is the same whether we run 'make && make pot' compared to just
'make pot', it sounds good to me. I'll do some testing in pilot-qof (it's
quicker).
There shouldn't be any translatable strings in g-wrap files.
A translator _still_ has to either `make pot' or `make' at toplevel
and in either case, POTFILES.in will already exist. Right?
Yes, because making 'make-gnucash-potfiles' now executes the newly built
script, creating 'po/POTFILES.in'. It's part of the rule. This was actually a
side-effect from the OSX tests - one of the few things from my OSX experience
that has directly *benefitted* gnucash instead of complicating it!!
Agreed, a translator will still need to run either "make" or "make pot".
However, you should not build po/POTFILES.in during the generation of
the script. It should be a separate rule.. Otherwise it wont REBUILT
the POTFILES.in file when you want it to, unless you rebuild the SCRIPT
everytime... No need to rebuild the script, but you DO want to re-run it..
So... two rules.
