Re: [Pxlib-devel] Problems compiling pxlib on OS X

[Robert C. <no...@gm...>]

Thanks for your help and sorry it took so long to get around to
testing this. This seems to do the job:

$ diff config.h.old config.h
74c74
< #define HAVE_LC_MESSAGES 1
---
> /* #define HAVE_LC_MESSAGES 1 */
86c86
< #define HAVE_LOCALE_H 1
---
> /* #define HAVE_LOCALE_H 1 */

Outside this mailing list's scope, but however useful, using pecl's
package manager to install the PHP Paradox binding also fails.
Solution is to download the source from pecl.php.net, phpize, then
edit the configure script.

$ diff configure.old configure
4404c4404
<     SEARCH_PATH="/usr/local /usr"     # you might want to change this
---
>     SEARCH_PATH="/usr/local /usr /opt/local"     # you might want to change this

That's having used 'configure --prefix=/opt/local' for pxlib.

>From initial tests, everything seems to work, but I'm curious to know
what exactly the locale header provides for pxlib specifically? Is it
just error messages/confirmations in the database manager's language
or does it provide some conversion for the database content itself
(like regional thousand separators, etc)? And how much do you think
pxlib will break without it?

Thank you so much for your tips again.
