Package: gettext Version: 0.18.1.1-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
As I was trying to use xgettext on my own scheme files, it always failed. So I decided to try to run it on the example that comes with gettext-doc and it worked like a charm. Digging into what could cause this strange 'working on the distro scheme example file but not on any of my scheme files', I found that xgettext will properly work until it reaches a block-comment inside a scheme function [as opposed to a toplevel block-comment which xgettext appears to propely manage. On the modified hello.scm below, if you run: xgettext -k_ -o hello.pot hello.scm and cat hello.pot, you'll see that xgettext 'stopped' working properly after extracting "let's see: xgettext 1". In case you could not reproduce exactly, I'll also attach the hello.pot I got here. ;; hello.scm [modified] starts here #!@GUILE@ -s !# ;;; Example for use of GNU gettext. ;;; This file is in the public domain. ;;; Source code of the GNU guile program.
