Comment 0 for bug 1751261

From bionic:

Change to the libgweather source directory and run

sudo apt build-dep libgweather
dh_auto_configure
dh_auto_build

ninja -v -C obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/ libgweather-3.0-pot
ninja -v -C obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/ libgweather-locations-pot

For reference, the second to last command succeeds with this output:
---------------
