Illustration -- although the menu-items are in proper Ukrainian, the menu-title
itself is garbled
The upstream's configure now checks for the presence of the
bind_textdomain_codeset-function. The check fails, because the function is
provided by libinto.so, but configure does not add -lintl to the compiler
command-line.
The subtle failure causes (some) of the UI text to be garbled for people, who
use non-UTF8 encoding -- such as uk_UA.KOI8-U.
I'm not sure, how to best work around the problem while the upstream are
working on the proper fix (see URL for link to the bug-report).
I simply added the following snippet to my own /etc/make.conf, which proved
sufficient:
if ${.CURDIR:T:M*xfce4*}
CONFIGURE_ENV+= LIBS=-lintl LDFLAGS=-L${LOCALBASE}/lib
endif
This was not a problem earlier -- a machine I have with Xfce4-4.16.4 is fine...
