I'm using gettext/libintl now for some time. I'm using gettext ports
on different operating systems. For the win32 port of my program I use
the GnuWin32 port of gettext/libintl (see
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/). The nice thing of this port is that
relocation support is builtin. This means that all programs that use
this port automatically support relocation out of the box. All
programs in the project are relocatable without modifications.
Lately I was trying the MinGW port of gettext/libintl and discovered
that relocation didn't work. First I thought it was a bug of the MinGW
port. But later I saw that by default there is no relocate support in
the libintl library. MinGW uses gettext/libintl unmodified. I noticed
that relocation support has been added separately to the gettext (and
iconv) programs.
Isn't it a good idea to build relocation support into the library,
like the GnuWin32 maintainers did? This way you don't have to take the
hassle of adding relocation support to every individual program.
Hi,
I added builtin relocation to MinGW libintl 0.17. The patch can be
downloaded from
http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/libintl.html
At the moment it only works if you compile for win32. On
Unix/Linux/Cygwin the functionality is currently unchanged.
My goal is to get this working for all platforms.
regards,
Erwin
