           Summary: Make messages & merge procedure failed
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.0.0a4
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: ianw at netspace.net.au


Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

When I ran "Build, Make Messages & Merge", the Messages window reported
"Success", but no .pot or .po file was generated (BUG 1).  In fact there was an
error message form command "xgettext", in script "admin/cvs.sh", saying:

    xgettext: error while opening "/include/kde.pot" for reading: No such file ...

On examining the script "admin/cvs.sh", I noticed that the file required a prefix
"${includedir:-KDEDIR}".  It appears that Gideon does not define either
$includedir or $KDEDIR (BUG 2).  When I ran "KDEDIR=/opt/kde3 gideon ...",
"Make Messages & Merge" worked fine.  BTW (BUG 3?), isn't the symbol
$KDEDIR long ago obsolete in KDE?
