The macro file uses something like`set(_ki18n_uic_script
${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/kf5i18nuic.cmake) ` for two variables, saying that
the referenced files are located beside the macro file, but the remaining
files are based surprisely on a complete different variable, hiding where the
related files are located really. This patches cleans up this by moving all
related files into the build dir, which looks more clean to me. For installing
local translations it is only required to add <build-dir>/cmake to use the
macro file and for autotests/ki18n_install.
Furthermore KF5I18n_DIR seems to be required to support
autotests/ki18n_install, which is a client package using a non standard way to
use the macro file from an partially installed ki18n package (some files from
<build-root>/cmake and some from <src-root>/cmake) , where it would be much
more standard to use a full 'find_package' call inside
(https://cgit.kde.org/ki18n.git/tree/autotests/ki18n_install/CMakeLists.txt)
only from <build-root>/cmake e.g.
project(ki18n_install)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
find_package(KF5I18N)
ki18n_install(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/po)
BTW: I was faced to this on trying to understand the ki1i8n build system,
from which I took the macro file and all related dependencies to install po
files from a tarball released by KDE for a cross build umbrello for Windows
(see
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows%3Amingw%3Awin32/mingw32-umbrello),
which cant use the full KI18n package for now.
