Using intltool with cmake

I am writing a GNOME application and using CMake. Now I am considering the possibility of transferring the application that provides the GNU intltool, gettext, msgfmtetc. Autotools supports these tools and the entire i18n process out of the box.

How do I get this to work with CMake? Are there any modules or code snippets?

Currently, the best way to use intltooland gettexttogether with CMake is, firstly, to determine whether modules are present in the system and set several such variables:

# Setting up Intl
find_package (Intl REQUIRED)
find_package(Gettext REQUIRED)
include_directories(${INTL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${INTL_LIBRARY_DIRS})

Then you can create the files poas follows:

FIND_PROGRAM(GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE msgfmt)

IF(NOT GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE)
    MESSAGE("------
    NOTE: msgfmt not found. Translations will *not* be installed
------")
ELSE(NOT GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE)

  SET(catalogname rkward)

  FILE(GLOB PO_FILES *.po)
  SET(GMO_FILES)

  FOREACH(_poFile ${PO_FILES})
    GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(_poFileName ${_poFile} NAME)
    STRING(REGEX REPLACE "^${catalogname}_?" "" _langCode ${_poFileName} )
    STRING(REGEX REPLACE "\\.po$" "" _langCode ${_langCode} )

    IF( _langCode )
      GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(_lang ${_poFile} NAME_WE)
      SET(_gmoFile ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${_lang}.gmo)

      ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(OUTPUT ${_gmoFile}
        COMMAND ${GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE} --check -o ${_gmoFile} ${_poFile}
        DEPENDS ${_poFile})
      INSTALL(FILES ${_gmoFile} DESTINATION ${LOCALE_INSTALL_DIR}/${_langCode}/LC_MESSAGES/ RENAME ${catalogname}.mo)
      LIST(APPEND GMO_FILES ${_gmoFile})
    ENDIF( _langCode )

  ENDFOREACH(_poFile ${PO_FILES})

  ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(translations ALL DEPENDS ${GMO_FILES})

ENDIF(NOT GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE)
