`POTFILES' in `po/'

The `po/' directory should receive a file named `POTFILES.in'. This file tells which files, among all program sources, have marked strings needing translation. Here is an example of such a file:

# List of source files containing translatable strings.
# Copyright (C) 1995 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

# Common library files
lib/error.c
lib/getopt.c
lib/xmalloc.c

# Package source files
src/gettextp.c
src/msgfmt.c
src/xgettext.c

Dashed comments and white lines are ignored. All other lines list those source files containing strings marked for translation (see section How Marks Appears in Sources), in a notation relative to the top level of your whole distribution, rather than the location of the `POTFILES.in' file itself.
