Description Jeremy Bicha 2018-02-23 13:08:28 UTC 
libgweather 3.27.4
meson 0.44.1-1
gettext 0.19.8.1-4ubuntu2
Ubuntu 18.04 Alpha

Test Case

meson builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -v -C builddir libgweather-pot
ninja -v -C builddir libgweather-locations-pot

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Comments
--------
"subcommand failed" so xgettext doesn't like the input it's given, but it's not clear from here what the problem is. Maybe `data/locations.its` has a problem?

Comment 1 Corentin Noël 2018-02-23 13:47:11 UTC 
I get a segfault when executing this in root directory
xgettext --its=data/locations.its --files-from=po-locations/POTFILES.in --default-domain=libgweather-locations --output-dir=po-locations

It seems like the proper way is to execute `regen.sh` that is in the po-locations folder
Comment 2 Jeremy Bicha 2018-02-23 16:16:14 UTC 
By the way, regen.sh creates locations.pot

But the meson build would expect libgweather-locations.pot
Comment 3 Gunnar Hjalmarsson 2018-02-23 20:20:38 UTC 
The segfault is a known issue which has been fixed in upstream git.

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53184

When I jumped into that issue, I noticed that the .pot still was created successfully. So, without having tested on libgweather, simply adding "|| true" might work around the problem for now.
Comment 4 Gunnar Hjalmarsson 2018-02-23 20:29:07 UTC 
.. or maybe patch gettext with that upstream commit.
Comment 5 Jeremy Bicha 2018-02-23 21:45:51 UTC 
I believe we can close this bug then since this appears to be a gettext issue.

However, it looks like there is no longer a need for the regen.sh script.
Comment 6 Piotr Drąg 2018-02-23 21:47:18 UTC 
Damned Lies uses it.
Comment 7 Gunnar Hjalmarsson 2018-02-23 22:08:45 UTC 
I have confirmed that fixing gettext fixes this issue.
