2185.0. "makefile help for i18n message catalogs" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Tue Apr 02 1996 12:21

Subj: 	makefile help for i18n message catalogs

The following makefile does not build the specified i18n message catalog.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
% cat Makefile

MSGHDRS         = vxvm_msg.h
CATFILES        = vxvm.cat

include ${MAKEFILEPATH}/standard.mk
include ${MAKEFILEPATH}/objects.mk

% touch foo.c vxvm.msg
% build
relative path: ./usr/sbin/lsm/digital/libcmd.
string passed to /usr/sde/osf1/build/ptos.bl9/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostbin/make:
   make -cF build_all
cd ../../../../../../obj/alpha/usr/sbin/lsm/digital/libcmd
Elapsed build time(hr:min:sec): 0:0:3
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If a LIBRARIES or PROGRAMS macro is specified and OFILES/HFILES are specified
then the message may get built.  See the following examples.  Shouldn't the
above make work as is?  What are the macro/build dependencies here that cause
the above makefile to fail?  Standard.mk seems to have very straightforward
rules for $MSGHDRS and $CATFILES.
