/debug/gens-debug.Po: No such file or directory
The .Po files are generated by config.status:
echo '# dummy' > "$dirpart/$file"But shell redirects cannot create missing intermediate directories. config.status uses mkinstalldirs for this, but calls it directly without going through the shell, and since the linux source is in the win32 source zip rather than a tar, files will usually extract without executable permission. Doing a
chmod +x mkinstalldirswill aalow sh configure to complete without .Po errors. Naturally, make errors follow.
