Building RPM out of CVS version fails. *.po?
 

I got the CVS version of gtk-gnutella. I did:
$ ./Configure
Where I basically just changed default value for prefix to /usr and told it to use GTK2 instead of GTK1.

Configure created gtk-gnutella.spec file, which then seems to be ok. I do:
$ tar czf /usr/local/src/redhat/SOURCES/gtk-gnutella-0.93u.tar.gz gtk-gnutella-0.93u

Then building the RPM packages:
$ rpmbuild -ta gtk-gnutella-0.93u.tar.gz

Everything goes ok (in 'make all'), until this:

So it fails to find/make gtk-gnutella.pot file.

Any ideas?

(I am sure there were good reasons to change from configure to Configure, but the RPM building was working perfect before the change.)

same problem with .po files, solved
 

To fix it, I simply "touched" the file that did not exist. Then the procedure completed without error. I think the script simply needs a line to touch the file if it does not exist.

In your case it looks like the file to touch is /usr/local/src/redhat/BUILD/gtk-gnutella-0.93u/po/gtk-gnutella.po

In other words, issue the command "touch /usr/local/src/redhat/BUILD/gtk-gnutella-0.93u/po/gtk-gnutella.po" (just in case you don't know what touch means.
