Because the .po files are the sole responsibility of the translators. *They* should run "msgmerge" every once in a while. We shouldn't. > On my PIII800 a gazillion minutes of compiling GnuCash is spent running > msgmerge, every friggin' time I recompile. That's this stupid gettext/intltool/whatever version. Even running "msgmerge" on our own doesn't help, because the recompiling of the .po catalogs will happen after every single change any c code file. We had some discussion about this earlier. I ended up editing the po/Makefile.in.in file and commenting out the line where the INTLTOOL_UPDATE command is called. I think it was this one (commenting out is achieved by adding the 'echo' in front): $(POFILES): $(srcdir)/$(DOMAIN).pot @lang=`echo $@ | sed -e 's,.*/,,' -e 's/\.po$$//'`; \ test "$(srcdir)" = . && cdcmd="" || cdcmd="cd $(srcdir) && "; \ echo "$${cdcmd}$(INTLTOOL_UPDATE) $${lang}.po"; This manual workaround has to be done every time when ./autogen.sh is called, i.e., on the stable branch probably seldomly.
