    <p>In the <a href="https://github.com/tjol/emperor" rel="nofollow">Emperor</a> project, I'm having some issues getting intltool to work when doing an out-of-tree build. When running <code>make check</code> out-of-tree, which is one of the things <code>make distcheck</code> does, intltool fails thus:</p> <pre><code>INTLTOOL_EXTRACT="/usr/bin/intltool-extract" XGETTEXT="/usr/bin/xgettext" srcdir=../../po /usr/bin/intltool-update --gettext-package emperor --pot can't open ../../po/../data/emperor.desktop.in: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/intltool-extract line 212. </code></pre> <p>intltool is looking for <code>emperor.desktop.in</code>, which is listed in <code>po/POTFILES.in</code>, in the source tree. However, <code>emperor.desktop.in</code> is generated by the configure script from a file called <code>emperor.desktop.in.in</code>, in order to insert the installed executable path as configured by the user, and lands in the build tree.</p> <p>These are the relevant <code>bootstrap.sh</code> lines:</p> <pre><code>echo +++ Running intltoolize ... &amp;&amp; intltoolize --force --copy &amp;&amp; cat &gt;&gt;po/Makefile.in.in &lt;&lt;EOF ../data/_column_names.h: cd ../data &amp;&amp; \$(MAKE) _column_names.h EOF </code></pre> <p>The setup code in <code>configure.ac</code>:</p> <pre><code>IT_PROG_INTLTOOL([0.35.0]) GETTEXT_PACKAGE=emperor AC_SUBST(GETTEXT_PACKAGE) AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([GETTEXT_PACKAGE], ["$GETTEXT_PACKAGE"], [The domain to use with gettext]) AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT </code></pre> <p><code>data/emperor.desktop.in</code> is listed in <code>AC_CONFIG_FILES</code>.</p> <p><code>data/Makefile.am</code> contains these lines:</p> <pre><code>desktopdir = $(datadir)/applications desktop_in_files = emperor.desktop.in desktop_DATA = $(desktop_in_files:.desktop.in=.desktop) @INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE@ </code></pre> <p>and <code>po/POTFILES.in</code> contains the line</p> <pre><code>data/emperor.desktop.in </code></pre> <p>You can review all the details in the <a href="https://github.com/tjol/emperor" rel="nofollow">public git repository</a> if you wish.</p> <p><strong>Can I somehow tell intltool that this file will be located in the build tree, not in the source tree?</strong> Otherwise, my options appear to be to break <code>make distcheck</code> (not a great option), or to ship a desktop file that doesn't include the full path and assumes that the executable is installed in the PATH. (just as messy, IMHO) - Any other options?</p>

    1. COCan you show the configure.ac and Makefile.am code that you are using to call intltool?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
