Possibly a USE="-nls" bug?

[ebuild     U ~] kde-apps/step-17.04.1:5::gentoo [17.04.0:5::gentoo] USE="gsl handbook qalculate -debug -nls% {-test}" 0 KiB

Same error was with version 17.04.0:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:90 (add_subdirectory):
  add_subdirectory given source "po" which is not an existing directory.

Yes, indeed. This won't be limited to step, add_subdirectory(po) is added to such special cases of KDE Applications where there is translated data inside po that is not installed by ki18n_install nor kdoctools_install.

For 17.04.1 we can add a workaround to kde5.eclass, but upstream now is aware of that and if all goes well in 17.04.2 will use ecm_optional_add_subdirectory which is non-fatal in case of missing po directory.

Thanks, fixed in git commit 4a240ab910f80bd21de7d5ef49890cdd1717844c

Still happens with kde-apps/step-17.04.2. Reopening.

Thanks, re-added temporary fix with git commit 823e4dc9879144afb4abea123d95a9b324d59ed9

Still happens with kde-apps/step-17.08.1. Reopening second time.

Temporary fix was not so temporary after all. 6f315cfed4a16334e349c4fa68f80a4e970c5fb4
