Bug Description

see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/618047/in-15-04-ubuntu-sdk-make-is-failing-to-build-and-run-ubuntu-core-apps-for-the/618074#618074

An error might look like this:

01:09:30: Starting: "/usr/bin/make"
Scanning dependencies of target ubuntu-clock-app.desktop
[ 1%] Merging translations into ubuntu-clock-app.desktop...
Died at /usr/bin/intltool-merge line 317.

Error while building/deploying project com.ubuntu.clock (kit: Desktop)
When executing step 'Make'
01:09:30: Elapsed time: 00:00.

The folder I had this project in was "Core Apps". Removing the space, and the error disappeared.

It is suggested:

"Died at /usr/bin/intltool-merge line 317. On that line the perl script opens a file. What could go wrong? Permissions? No. File does not exist? Why it doesn't exist? File name distorted somehow? Special characters? Maybe spaces."
