The GIT repo does not have a configure script. Are you not using
the version pulled from GIT?

I can't understand what you're doing wrong.

Add da.po to po/
Add 'da' to the ALL_LINGUAS line in configure.ac
rm po/claws-mail.pot
./autogen.sh [with configure options]
make
sudo make install

That should be all there is to it.
Near the beginning of the `make` output you will see it building the
translations. da.po should be among those.

with regards

Paul
