Hey Mike,
The main Makefile is from us. qmake does not build in the base directory of the x2goclient source tree. The main Makefile creates a build dir first and then runs qmake in that directory. So: not ignoring the main Makefile. Oh, seems like I've been building x2go "wrongly" the whole time. Always ran qmake in the main directory which was overwriting the main Makefile (well... from what I can tell, it worked fine. :/)
If that's the case, maybe my latest patch is redundant, as the "general" makefile should already be building .qm files (although it used lrelease-qt4 which is not available on my system, seems to be some weird symlinking between Qt3 and Qt4 lrelease binaries -- I just have my normal Qt4 lrelease binary.)
Gotta take a look a look at this, thanks!
Best regards,
Mihai
