gettext update?
Folks, I can no longer compile the included gettext on Windows (with mingw/scons). ./intl/VERSION tells me that we use gettext-0.14.1 which is pretty old. Unless someone objects, I will upgrade to 0.14.5 later today. Michael

After looking at the NEWS file, all I see of interest to us is a possible rewrite of the m4 code (which you do not care about) and improved support for OSX (which is welcome also).

Unless someone objects, I will upgrade to 0.14.5 later today. It is difficult to test scons for all supported platforms, especially given my limited access to windows. I am playing with lyx/gtk but I think I will stop expanding scons for now and fix these bugs first. Michael, could you send me your error message? Did you succeed before with mingw/scons/gettext? I do not think my recent patches touch the gettext part. Cheers, Bo

It is not necessary to change LyX SVN to get a more modern gettext, compiling without --with-included-gettext is also possible. The next build of my installer will have binaries that are linked to an external libintl of the latest gettext. Everything seems to work fine. Joost

I have also succeded in linking with external intl (most recent gnuwin32 gettext complete package) but the localization did not work in the resulting executable.

If it works, I would be interested in a detailled HOWTO... Abdel.

Yes, it works. The patch you need for Win32 gettext 0.14.5 is (from Cygwin): http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Tools/gettext-0.14.5-cygwin-rdata.patch If you set the LC_ALL environment variable before starting LyX everything is localized.
