I'm just trying to build VDR on openSUSE 11.4, which comes with xgettext/msgmerge version 0.18.1. For some odd reason, when doing
make i18n
the sequence of the messages in the *.po files is completely different than before, which would cause a huge and unnecessary diff in the next developer version of VDR.
Does anybody know if the gettext-tools have been broken at some point? Is there a way to get the previous sequence of messages back?

FYI Ubuntu natty similar has 0.18.1 but doesn't change the order of messages in the .po files when doing make i18n (at least not on the 1.7.18 snapshot).

Strange...
I can't seem to make this beast generate the same *.po files as before the switch to openSUSE 11.4 :-(
I guess I need to add the '-s' option to the xgettext call to make sure the sequence of texts doesn't depend on the sequence of the input files. Maybe should have done this from the very beginning...

Well, that was not such a good idea, because it sorts all texts and doesn't keep them together locally as before.
Turned out using

(i.e. sorting the source file names with 'ls') did the trick.
