[GNC] Error during phase build of gnucash-git: # Error running ninja, build on MINGW32

[Hai Liang Wang]

The root cause seems to be this -

*[2/523] Generating gnucash.appdata.xml.in <http://gnucash.appdata.xml.in>*
*FAILED: gnucash/gnome/gnucash.appdata.xml.in
<http://gnucash.appdata.xml.in>
C:/gcdev64/gnucash/stable/build/gnucash-git/gnucash/gnome/gnucash.appdata.xml.in
<http://gnucash.appdata.xml.in> *
*C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "cd /D

<http://gnucash.appdata.xml.in.in>*

Where I found related discussions.
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-March/041702.html
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-March/041710.html

Then, I tried two solutions -

*cp -rf /mingw32/share/gettext/its/ /usr/share/gettext*

And in gcdev64\gnucash\stable\src\gnucash-git\gnucash\gnome\CMakeLists.txt

*# No headers to install*
*set(ENV{GETTEXTDATADIR} "/mingw32/share/gettext")*
*set (GNC_APPDATA_IN ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/gnucash.appdata.xml.in
<http://gnucash.appdata.xml.in>)*
*if (NOT GENERATE_VCS_INFO)*

Both not works.

So, is it the root cause, how to fix it?
Thanks.

Attached the full log.

Cheers.
