gEDA-bug: [Bug 915475] Re: Can't build 1.8 on MacOSX 10.6.8

["John P. Doty" <jpd@xxxxxxxxx>]

The cause of the problem is that "msgmerge --update" is broken in Fink.

A work-around is "touch */po/*.po". This fools the Makefiles into
thinking the merge has taken place, allowing a successful build, but
possibly without the latest translations.

Having the command be "msgmerge -o something.po" would fix the problem,
but I don't understand how the command emerges from the twisty little
maze of autogenerated, parameterized Makefiles, so I have no patch.

Title:
  Can't build 1.8 on MacOSX 10.6.8

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
  "make" errors out with:

  /sw/bin/msgmerge: `ar.po': No such file or directory

  The trouble appears to start earlier:

  if test -n 'geda-bug@xxxxxxxx' || test 'geda-bug@xxxxxxxx' = '@'PACKAGE_BUGREPORT'@'; then \
  	  msgid_bugs_address='geda-bug@xxxxxxxx'; \
  	else \
  	  msgid_bugs_address='geda-bug@xxxxxxxx'; \
  	fi; \
  	/bin/sh /Users/jpd/FreeSoftware/gaf/build-tools/desktop-i18n --extract --xgettext=/sw/bin/xgettext -- --default-domain=libgeda41 --directory=../.. \
  	  --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ --from-code=UTF-8 \
  	  --files-from=./POTFILES.in \
  	  --copyright-holder='gEDA Developers' \
  	  --msgid-bugs-address="$msgid_bugs_address"
  Fixing up libgeda41.po
  sed: -e: No such file or directory

  Perhaps the desktop-i18n script is garbling a sed command?
