kwrite Makefile.am says:

messages: rc.cpp
	$(XGETTEXT) -ki18nop *.cpp -o $(podir)/kwrite.pot

but if I do "make messages" it says

make: *** No rule to make target `rc.cpp', needed by `messages'.  Stop.

What's the rule to create it ?

To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
