This +builder adds its targe node (<filename>messages.pot</filename>, say) to a +special alias (<literal>pot-update</literal> by default, see +&cv-link-POTUPDATE_ALIAS;) so you can update/create them easily with +<command>scons pot-update</command>.

The +default target may also be overriden by setting &cv-link-POTDOMAIN; construction +variable or providing it as an override to &b-POTUpdate; builder: +<example> + # SConstruct script + env = Environment( tools = ['default', 'xgettext'] ) + env['POTDOMAIN'] = "foo" + env.POTUpdate(source = ["a.cpp", "b.cpp"]) # Creates foo.pot ... + env.POTUpdate(POTDOMAIN = "bar", source = ["c.cpp", "d.cpp"]) # and bar.pot +</example> + +<emphasis>Example 3.</emphasis> +The sources may be specified within separate file, for example +<filename>POTFILES.in</filename>: +<example> + # POTFILES.in in 'po/' subdirectory + ../a.cpp + ../b.cpp + # end of file +</example> +The name of the file (<filename>POTFILES.in</filename>) containing the list of +sources is provided via &cv-link-XGETTEXTFROM;: +<example> + # SConstruct file in 'po/' subdirectory + env = Environment( tools = ['default', 'xgettext'] ) + env.POTUpdate(XGETTEXTFROM = 'POTFILES.in') +</example> + +<emphasis>Example 4.</emphasis> +You may use &cv-link-XGETTEXTPATH; to define source search path.
