I have an application that reads a locale from a configuration file (simple form). This determines how the output is formatted, in particular date-time. This change is local to the application and does not effect the rest of the computer.
This was originally written in Delphi which provides GetFormatSettings which is callable after changing the locale. There is also a routine GetLocaleFormatSettings is neccessary. Moving this application to FPC, I can still get GetFormatSettings on Windows. The issue is moving this to another platform, in particularly Linux. I have a routine to deal with the locale namings on the different platforms, which works nicely. I can change the thread locale. The issue is that GetFormatSettings is not available. I have made a local patch to export the equivalent function under linux. I simply turned the initialization code into a routine and exported this with the same name. Can this routine be made available on other/all platforms, or is there a better way to do it? -- Derek Edson
