Patch to make cat-id-tbl.c play nicer with intltool (2.92 KB, patch)
2003-10-15 19:05 UTC, Danilo Segan 		none Details | Review

Description Danilo Segan 2003-10-15 19:04:33 UTC 
The way strings are divided in gnomemeeting/po/cat-id-tbl.c causes some
problems for intltool and gettext tools.

For instance, part
  {"\
GnomeMeeting is an H.323 compliant program for gnome\n\
This program is not supported by Microsoft(c).", 98},

is better written like
  {""
"GnomeMeeting is an H.323 compliant program for gnome\n"
"This program is not supported by Microsoft(c).", 98},


I've tested this and it works fine with intltool, but I didn't compile it.

I'll attach a patch that fixes this. I may commit it if you don't have any
other solution on mind (because this is a generated file, I suspect you may
want to fix the po2tbl script mentioned in the source file).

Hi Danilo,

I don't know where your head version of GnomeMeeting comes from. I
have no cat-id-tbl.c file in my HEAD version. Also, it doesn't appear
in the CVS view :
http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?cvsroot=/cvs/gnome&dir=gnomemeeting/po

Moreover, it seems to contain very old messages that do not exist
anymore. 

Sorry, but I'm confused. Can you give more details?
Comment 3 Danilo Segan 2003-10-15 20:25:05 UTC 
It's probably a problem with my checked out copy: I tried removing the
file, and cvs up'ing it, and it reappears. I also usually do a "cvs co
gnomemeeting" in the parent directory, and it usually purges the
nonexisting files (apart from those that I or intltool added, for
which it prints a question mark), but this one was persisting.

I've checked out a fresh copy from CVS, and it doesn't contain these
problems. Ah well, sorry for the false alarm.

The actual culprit is a missing [encoding: UTF-8] (or whatever) from
POTFILES.in.

Feel free to mark this as NOTABUG.
Comment 4 Damien Sandras 2003-10-15 20:28:10 UTC 
Try to do a cvs up -Pd, perhaps (Im not a CVS expert) that it would
remove the file. That is something weird. Anyway, for POTFILES.in,
what is the exact syntax? If you have CVS access, you can commit the
POTFILES.in fix yourself.

Thanks!

Bug 124857 is slightly related to that issue.
