Hi List, techtonik recently made a pull request to address some issues when cross-compiling wesnoth, based on distinctions between libintl / boost locale. He pointed out that the instructions in INSTALL are confusing, this stemming from the compatibility path which was created for 1.12 to avoid making boost filesystem and locale a hard dependency. (Which are mandatory? Which are optional? So to avoid using boost locale, I set "boostfilesystem" to false?) [1]
As far as I know we don't plan to make any 1.14 releases without boost filesystem. However it's been suggested [2] that we might support libintl indefinitely. Proposal: - Merge techtonik's patch [1] (this will likely happen independently of my patch) - Merge my patch [3] which makes boost filesystem mandatory (with scons), and replaces the "boostfilesystem" option with a "libintl" option. It is an error to use libintl when compiling for windows. - Change INSTALL notes to reflect this. Please write back if you don't want boost filesystem to be a hard dependency on master. I'm not proposing to delete "filesystem.cpp" yet, as afaik the Xcode project file still uses this, but we do know that the boost filesystem, boost locale option does work with scons on OS X when using the homebrew provided dependencies (ancestral has tested this several times in the past).
