.Po / .Plo Question

[Asim Suter]

 

Hi,

 

I am trying to understand the generation of .Po / .Plo files in .deps directory.

We have a build system that uses autoamke,autoconf and libtool.

 

Could someone please help me with my questions.

1) Which tool/script/program generates .Po/.Plo files ? And at what stage ?

 

2) While rebuilding I see sometimes .Po files get "bad" in that

    they get malformed somehow for which gmake croaks and bails out.

   

    For instance:

   

   a) .deps/libcryptotool_a-sig_verify.Po:1: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.

   b) Missing separator in file..

 

 

Is there a workaround/recipe to solve this issue that you may know about ?

Any pointers will help me too!

 

Thanks,

Asim
