Thanks,

but my modified version doesn't work and I don't know what's happen ....


macro (GETTEXT_UPDATE_LANG_PO dirOUTpo inputPo )

   #message (STATUS "Calling the macro to copy files to ${dirOUTpo}\n")
   foreach ( _file ${${inputPo}} )
    get_filename_component(_fdest ${_file} NAME)
    set(dest ${dirOUTpo}/${_fdest})
    message (STATUS "Copying ${_file} to ${dest} \n")
    add_custom_command (
      TARGET     update_lang_po
      POST_BUILD
      COMMAND    ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
      ARGS       -E copy_if_different
      ${_file} ${dest})
      #copy_if_different
   endforeach(_file ${${inputPo}}) 
endmacro (GETTEXT_UPDATE_LANG_PO dirOUTpo inputPo)

I call this macro with a inputPo, a list of files and dirOUTpo a var with a 
value.

The message status shows the correct values, but no copy is done. 
Any idea?

I simple execute make update_lang_po, but nothing is copied ...

Thanks in advance,

Leo
