Jenkins build failure: parse err in gen-indicate-interface.xml.c

Something funny has to be happening with the basename. Not sure what. I've attached a branch that should print it out in the build log. Can you run with that branch so we can get more data please?

I'm able to reproduce from trunk this with these steps:

  $ cd indicator-appmenu
  $ mkdir -p build/gtk3/
  $ cd build/gtk3/
  $ ../../configure --srcdir=$PWD/../.. --prefix=/usr
  $ make
  $ make check

hud.interface.c is being built in indicator-appmenu/build/gtk3/src/, but POTFILES doesn't know to look for it there -- it's looking in indicator-appmenu/src/ instead.

This raises an interesting (to me, at least) question about how to get POTFILES.in to understand where to look for files generated from BUILT_SOURCES. However, there is a much faster solution to this ticket: there's nothing in hud.interface.c that needs translation, so removing it from POTFILES.in resolves the problem.

The previous comment was intended for Bug #938986

Allan, two questions:

1. that second log doesn't seem to have the extra information that would show up from ted's branch. Are you certain that libindicate-3.log was generated from the correct branch?

2. would it be possible for you to attach the file "gen-indicate-interface.xml.c" that's generated by a failed build?

Generated by just catting the file during make.

Status update: lp:~charlesk/libindicate/lp-931759 gets us most of the way there but it's still a work in progress -- there are several build failures here :)

1. Allan found the basename fix by comparing to some of the other indicator builds; the fix was to add notdir

2. There were mono build issues that were resolved in the same way that they were libappindicator by lp:~charlesk/libappindicator/lp-931764 and are described at https://code.launchpad.net/~charlesk/libappindicator/lp-931764/+merge/96277/comments/207910

3. Lastly, there is a packaging issue at the very end of the build that Allan is looking into.

Item #3 in Charles' comment is fixed, the ball is turning green; just re-applied a prior fix from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libindicate/+bug/632746 which apparently snuck out of our codebase. Charles' changes and mine have been merged into a single merge request at https://code.launchpad.net/~allanlesage/libindicate/lp931759 ; forgive me Charles for stealing your merge-request.

Fix committed in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/libindicate/trunk.0.7/revision/446

Allan, my bzr-fu isn't strong enough yetretroactively change my "bzr rm; bzr add" modifications to "bzr mv", so I patched by hand instead of merging...

But for the record (Olli ;) -- Allan & I worked tag-team on this and bug #931764 together for about 6 hours yesterday, this was definitely a 50-50 effort
