Regenerating .pot files


Hi,

while following Daniel's checklist, I tried to generate .pot files.

Having run configure with --enable-maintainer-mode (in srcdir) and make, no .pot file was
regenerated.


It looks like these lines are strange to me:

all-yes: $(CATALOGS)  $(PACKAGE).pot
all-no:

$(srcdir)/$(PACKAGE).pot: $(POTFILES)
	$(XGETTEXT) --default-domain=$(PACKAGE) --directory=$(top_srcdir) \
	...

Why the all-yes target depends on $(PACKAGE).pot and not on $(srcdir)/ $(PACKAGE).pot ?
They should correspond to the same file but apparently GNU make 3.80 doesn't think so and therefore
$(PACKAGE).pot depends on nothing (so it is not rebuilt).


Did I miss the obvious or should the Makefile.in be updated ?

Thanks in advance,
tristan.
