Difference between --localedir and NLSPATH
Closed this issue · 4 comments
As in the title, what's the difference between the two? and why is --localedir only mentioned in build.md and not when running ./configure --help?
So I originally added --localedir because it was one of the standard GNU configure options. This was before I understood that GNU does not use POSIX locales.
--localedir does not make sense when a program is using POSIX locales, so I've removed references to LOCALEDIR and friends from everything.
Does that answer your question?
So --localedir shouldn't be used?
You are correct; it should not be used.
It wasn't used to change anything in the Makefile, so it merely just didn't do anything. With the change I made, the configure script should more give an error if it is given.
Ok cool, thanks for clarifying. Closing..
