Public bug reported:
If a package doesn’t use intltool to manage its translations, the
build_pot() function of /usr/bin/dh_translations looks for po/Makefile,
and if it exists it executes "make $domain.pot". This works for packages
that ship a Makefile in the po directory, but if the Makefile is
generated at build time (e.g. when using CMake) in a separate build
directory (which is usually the case when building packages), then
dh_translations fails to find po/Makefile, even though it exists in the
build directory.
Here is the relevant code:
if ($use_intltool) {
…
} else {
return unless -e 'po/Makefile';
if ($domain) {
# let the Makefile itself handle it
@cmd=('make', $domain . '.pot');
}
@cmd should be passed an additional '-C', $builddir.
