glibc/gettext inconsistancy ?
Hello,
current gettext version in woody is 0.10.40.
glibc is libc6-dev 2.2.5-4
libc package provide /usr/include/libintl.h file which differs from the
file provided in gettext 0.10.40.
The following program fail because it don't try to open
fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/test.mo
I consider it's important that devlopers could write application and
their related translation files in their own directory (not in system
directory). (and the same way application may be installed in user
directory)
I run this program with $LANG=fr_FR
As strace output show, no .mo file is searched.
The second strace output is done while this program is compiled and
linked with gettext 0.10.35 and it works.
My experiments show that gettext 0.10.35 is ok and gettext 0.10.40 and
0.11.1 failed. Has the method changed to do this ? Where is it
documented ?
#include <libintl.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
bindtextdomain("test","");
textdomain("test");
printf(gettext("hello\n"));
return 0;
}
$> strace -v ./a.out

The README file said
"Requires Windows 95, NT 4.0, or better."
So... I installed it on Linux!
