Translation files are not installed?

[Mailaender]

I saw http://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/cgit/alexpl/scidavis/scidavis.git/tree/scidavis.spec#n59

%{__cp} -p %{name}/translations/*.qm %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/translations/
%find_lang %{name} --with-qt

and when I tried %find_lang %{name} --with-qt without copying the translations the macro didn't find anything. Is /usr/share/scidavis/translations/ the proper location and why doesn't qmake install it?

That is the correct location. Typing "make install" in the scidavis executable directory installs it, at least with scidavis 1.19 or later.

The 'make install' step also fails to install translation files on Slackware. Tested with all versions from 0.2.? to 1.22. :-P The same occurs on ArchLinux (see the penultimate comment at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/scidavis/). Since it occurs on Fedora too, I guess that it is a more general bug...

Here is what happens for me on OpenSUSE using scidavis-1.22:

rusnuc>rm -rf /tmp/user
rusnuc>make -j9 INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp install
....
rusnuc>ls /tmp/usr/share/scidavis/translations/
scidavis_cs-alt.qm  scidavis_es.qm  scidavis_pt-br.qm
scidavis_cs.qm      scidavis_fr.qm  scidavis_ru.qm
scidavis_de.qm      scidavis_ja.qm  scidavis_sv.qm

Looks to me like they're being installed.

But in scidavis.spec (for producing the Linux packages on OBS) is the following:

%install
pushd scidavis
make INSTALL_ROOT=%{buildroot} install
# not sure why we have to explicitly copy these files
mkdir -p %{buildroot}/usr/share/scidavis/translations
cp translations/*.qm %{buildroot}/usr/share/scidavis/translations
popd

Which indicates that at some point, translations weren't being copied on some distros.
