[GNC-dev] translating python - how to generate pot file?

[c.holtermann at gmx.de]

Hello,

I got stuck trying to implement the python translations. I have cleaned
up the PR: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/655

I'd like to add some translations but I don't manage to get that done.
It seems to me that the next step would be creating the pot file.

There is documentation
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation#Get_a_fresh_template)
telling me to

  make pot

but I can't get that to work. Make or ninja tell me that there is no
rule for
po/gnucash.pot
What preconditions are needed to create the pot file?

regards,

Christoph
