GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 510427
Preprocessing per module
Last modified: 2009-02-10 20:47:36 UTC
Some packages may require some preprocessing commands before intltool commands. It's currently the case for GNUCash, because intltool doesn't currently supports proper string extracting for Guile files (see #358495). Should we provide a way to specify preprocessing command(s) in gnome-modules.xml.in? See also this thread: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2008-January/022182.html
The new Damned Lies has the capability to run arbitrary commands to generate a potfile. For me, this bug is fixed. But this does not resolve completely the GnuCash case, because currently it relies on guile being installed on the stats generating server, which is not acceptable IMHO.
