When I tried to update the openSUSE rkward package to 0.7.0, the build failed because the %find_lang rpm macro suddenly didn't find *any* translations (i.e. rkward.mo). It still worked fine with the pre-release tarball. I chased it down to this commit, that apparently broke the installation of the translations: https://cgit.kde.org/rkward.git/commit/i18n/CMakeLists.txt?h=releases/0.7.0&id=161f8230c5fd5d947981013ef7393827441dcd25 Reverting it fixes the problem (of course most translations are not complete enough to actually get installed, but that's a different story). It seems that the IF(EXISTS "${_gmoFile}") check doesn't work as expected? I have the impression that this IF prevents the generation of the .gmo files in the first place...

Ouch. Thanks for reporting. For the record, the real culprit is the quotes I added about ${_gmoFile} one commit later in https://cgit.kde.org/rkward.git/commit/i18n/CMakeLists.txt?h=releases/0.7.0&id=68b9fba32fd510203ded51dcb73553ecad7523ba . I'll try to upload a 0.7.0a with this fix, really soon, but I suppose you will also be able to patch this in your packaging. (Note: Without the quotes, you get a lot of empty directories for those .mo-file s that got purged for being not complete enough. Of course still better than this...)

That's what I tried to revert first, but it didn't help. Only removing the added IF(EXISTS ...) fixes it here. I'm not a cmake expert, but I assume the .gmo will only be created after the IF, so the INSTALL is never executed... Another possible fix may be to use execute_process() instead of add_custom_command(), I think.

You are right, again. The problem turns out to be that IF(EXISTS ...) checks whether the file exists at the time that cmake is run, not at the time of make install. Which it did, when I was testing without a complete wipe of the build directory, but of course not when building from scratch. Reverting seems like the best option for now, since the only downside is a couple of empty directories in the installation.
Alright, RKWard 0.7.0b packages have hit the servers, now. These simply revert the commit, as you suggested. In git master, there is a new attempt at avoiding empty directories, without breaking installation: https://cgit.kde.org/rkward.git/commit/?id=23f685bb2d1eddd1eed2b16bde079c17112f5fdd . Thanks a lot for reporting! I will try not to mess up as badly for the next release, and especially be much more careful about changes late in release phase.

Yes, I saw it 3 hours ago already... ;-) And I can confirm that 0.7.0b builds fine here and does install the translations. Haven't tried the new commit in master yet, but will do so later.
https://cgit.kde.org/rkward.git/commit/?id=23f685bb2d1eddd1eed2b16bde079c17112f5fdd seems to work fine here. Translations are still installed, empty directories are not created anymore for the too incomplete ones.
