Re: [Po4a-devel] A hackish way of generating bin/po4a.pot

Yesterday, while updating Polish translations, I noticed that almost all translations for the po4a-build script had been removed (see the bottom of the https://alioth.debian.org/scm/viewvc.php/po4a/po/bin/pl.po?root=po4a&... page). After some investigation it turned out that this had been caused by passing the `-L perl' option to xgettext. I've found some workaround for the problem. The workaround replaces the usual way of generating po4a.pot file with the following steps: 1. create temporary symlinks (like po4a.TMP.pl pointing to po4a) to let xgettext guess the language from the extension); 2. generate the POT file; 3. fix locations in the POT file to make it refer to real files, not the temporary ones; 4. remove the symlinks.
