#!/usr/bin/env fish # # Tool to generate messages.pot # Extended to replace the old Makefile rule which did not port easily to CMak # This script was originally motivated to work around a quirk (or bug depending on your viewpoint) # of the xgettext command. See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2014-11/msg00006.html. # However, it turns out that even if that quirk did not exist we would still need something like # this script to properly extract descriptions. That's because we need to normalize the strings to # a format that xgettext will handle correctly. Also, `xgettext -LShell` doesn't correctly extract # all the strings we want translated. So we extract and normalize all such strings into a format # that `xgettext` can handle. # Start with the C++ source xgettext -k -k_ -kN_ -LC++ --no-wrap -o messages.pot src/*.cpp src/*.h # This regex handles descriptions for `complete` and `function` statements. These messages are not # particularly important to translate. Hence the "implicit" label. set -l implicit_regex '(?:^| +)(?:complete|function).*?

The `| fish` is subtle.
