Re: Locale Directory

Eike Lange a écrit:

Hi Folks!

I'd like to improve the facilities of our `intl' unit which interfaces GNU Gettext. There is one little problem with it: The user of this unit might not know where to install and retrive the locale informations, needed by `BindTextDomain'.

• A common place under Unix like systems might be

/Executable-Path-Without-Bin/share/locale which is well defined for Linux.

• What about DJGPP, MinGW, CygWin, MacOS, ...?

Are there common rules to find the locale directory?

As a reference source code for this problem, you might want to have a look at `gettextdemo.pas'.

For DJGPP, in the program "GetTextTest.pas" of the test suite you read

LocaleDir := {$ifdef DJGPP} GetEnv ('$DJDIR') + '/share/locale' {$else} '/usr/share/locale' {$endif}; <...> s := BindTextDomain ('gettext', LocaleDir);

Is that you need ?
