Hello? Angus? Do you think it is possible to build LyX against the
gettext provided with mingw? This would probably fix a lot of the
language nastiness, and avoid setting of environment variables.
Sorry, I guess that I missed this bit of your mail.
I could certainly try, but I don't see what it gains us. There's about 20
lines in the installer to set the language of the UI. Moreover, because it
is encapsulated in a lyx.bat file, it's trivially easy for people to change.
I see on http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml that I would be grabbing
gettext-0.11.5-2003.02.01-1-src.tar.bz2
libiconv-1.8-2003.02.01-1-src.tar.bz2
Do you want me to try this anyway?
Angus (currently running lyx in french on an otherwise entirely english box)
