A convenience library doesn't work, because I have pretty many different CPP defines, probably set either in configure, or in a config file. And a single Makefile.am file instead of one file for each module is not modular. The set of modules to build is not constant, either. > to solve this problem cleanly?

But maybe there is a way to generate the *.Po files from the Makefile? Regards Harri
