Hi all,

I'm trying to figure this out for quite some time now, but I'm really
interested in what would be the right way to cope with this problem.

When you use uclibc as c library it's clear that nls isn't supported. You
should install gettext to make use of any internationalization functions.
The problem is that some programs (like glib for instance) depend on an
iconv implementation. Installing libiconv should solve the problem, though
that's not really an option since a lot of other programs don't like it
and refuse to compile with it.

What I'm basically interested in for my project is how to disable
internationalization globally but still provide support for programs which
depend on it. I have to say though that from what I've read at the gtk
mailing lists it should be possible to compile glib without nls, gettext
and iconv support. I tried to do this but failed, I'll try again though.

Is there anyone who can give me some information on this subject? For
instance, is it possible to create a system without any
internationalization? Which means, no gettext, no libiconv and no locales
of course.


Thanks in advance!
