Hi all.

I have tried to build claws for windows on ubuntu 17.04 64bit.

I got this error.

###
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating packages/Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
config.status: creating src/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/build-cc.in'

This are the steps which I have done.
