This is probably a stupid question but take a look at this simple
program:
----snip----
#include <libintl.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
bindtextdomain("ppx", "/home/joshua/ppx/locale");
printf("domain = %s\n", textdomain("ppx"));
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "de_DE.UTF-8");
printf("%s\n", gettext("America"));
}
----snip----
When I strace this, it never looks in /home/joshua/ppx/locale. I tested
this on 3 Debian systems and 1 Gentoo system. Am I doing something
stupid? I keep reading the docs for bindtextdomain but I don't
understand what I'm doing wrong. For example:
$ cc test.c -o test
$ strace ./test 2>&1 |grep ppx
write(1, "domain = ppx\nAmerica\n", 21domain = ppx
On my box, it looks in /usr/lib/locale/. I suspected that my compiler
toolchain was broken but on my brother's gentoo box, it searches
/usr/lib64/locale instead of the directory I specify in bindtextdomain.
On the other hand, if I strace /usr/bin/hello then it searches
/usr/share/locale which is correct. But if I dpkg-buildpackage hello
using apt-src then that build of hello searches /usr/lib/locale/. So
maybe my compiler toolchain really is broken?
Can you shed any light the behavior of bindtextdomain?
