[GRASS translations] Re: [GRASS-dev] Re: fprintf in raster modules converted to G_message

[Jachym Cepicky]

hi,
I tryed this patch for glocale.h, which sets standard messages, which
should be used in all grass modules.

it worked for r.average quite well, but when I updated .po files, new
messages did not appear.

could someone tell me, how to add glocale.h to list of files, which are
searched trough by running "make pot" ?

thanks

Jachym
