Hi,

I started updating po/fr/using/preferences.po Then I made changes in src/using/preferences/windows-management.xml. I ran 'make pot' and 'make po-fr': my preferences.po is not updated :-( If I run 'make po/fr/using/preferences.po', I get the message "po/fr/using/preferences.po is up-to-date", but it is not!

How can I get my preferences.po updated?

Hi Ulf,

There is no file 'src/using/preferences/windows-management.xml'. Did you mean 'src/using/preferences/prefs-window-management.xml'? Did you rename 'prefs-window-management.xml' to 'windows-management.xml' (good idea!)?

It's only a typo. I actually edited the 'src/using/preferences/prefs-window-management.xml.

I ran 'make pot' and 'make po-fr': my preferences.po is not updated :-( If I run 'make po/fr/using/preferences.po', I get the message "po/fr/using/preferences.po is up-to-date", but it is not!

Same problem here, but only with autotools-based Makefile. Using Makefile.GNU it worked fine: the commands for finding files and directories are slightly different.

It looks like your "src" directory is a link, or the files within "src/" are links. The default 'find' behaviour is to skip links, so you would have no source files and directories and thus no dependencies: nothing to do for 'make'.

Links? I don't understand how my src directory could be a link.

In fact, the POT file is OK and the PO file is partially updated: The two images I added are present, but the change in the text (I divided a para into several listitem in a itemizedlist) is absent; the old English string remains.

I have changed the 'find' command to follow links ('find -L'). This is not foolproof, but should work for now.

I ran 'make -f Makefile.GNU po-fr : the problem persits.

I'll push this prefs-window-management.xml file (the English html is OK).

Touch the source file and try it once more.

Thank you very much. All is right now. Sorry, I had the same problem on 4 Apr and didn't remember :-(
