Cannot build guix from git due to .po file errors

I haven't been able to build guix from a local checkout lately:

v1.0.1-13415-g0557618dbe
$ git clean -dfx
$ guix environment --pure guix

This has been several days at least, haven't tried to bisect the
issue... I've heard that some people can't reproduce it...

"guix pull" from the same commit works fine, but obviously takes a lot
more CPU and human cycles to run guix pull every change I want to test.


live well,

Hi Vagrant,

a workaround that I like to use is

  make SUBDIRS=

It will get rid of the "po" subdir rule.

(I'm not saying that that's the correct fix or anything)

Hi Vagrant,

Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@debian.org> skribis:

What’s the message on that line?

I haven’t hit the problem yet, probably simply because I haven’t tried
rebuilding the PO files.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

The message is:

msgstr[0] "The following ~*machine will be deployed:~%"

...from (guix scripts deploy).

So this is the same issue as <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/37505>.

I went ahead and applied the same workaround in
388b432cea4ae2bb9bf4b044026b7764ab002e1e.

I see, thanks!
