With the recent fix in the makefile the pspp.pot file is rebuild now also when building from the distribution package - you see the last bug report when building without gui. Before that the pspp.pot file was never rebuild when building from a distribution. We have xgettext 0.19.8.1: Without patches crashes with the —-its option xgettext 0.20: Works without the appstream package - no metainfo.its file required - builtin appstream: Available on opensuse,ubuntu and debian - makes it work with distribution version 0.19.8.1 So either a distribution has gettext 0.20 or 0.19 (some patches?) with the metainfo file. Otherwise the org.fsf.pspp.metainfo.xml file will not be translated. I pushed a change that this is not a build requirement but just a warning during configure.
