Re: grep.pot missing [bug-grep]

[Tony Abou-Assaleh]

I am having difficulties with 'po/Makefile.in.in' when running
'make dist'. Two problems to be exact:

1) make doesn't know how to make 'grep.pot'
2) make doesn't know how to make 'stamp-cat-id'

I can see that there are rules to handle each of the above situations
in the generated Makefile, but for some reason they're not working, and I
don't know enough about make to fix them.

My temporary solution is to remove dependency on stamp-cat-id and to copy
the old grep.pot from the cvs.

The script, the hack in the shape of a patch, and the nightly CVS releases
are available at:

        http://www.dal-acm.ca/~taa/grep/

The releases are tested with 'make check' and seem to work as expected.

Cheers,

TAA
