Re: [Bug-apl] Linker error libstdc++ vs Libc++ (maybe) SOLVED

[Peter Teeson]

Previously I said "OK I spent some time digging around and maybe I understand a bit more."

and also "Not totally confident that I have analyzed this correctly. What do you think?"

Well here is a better analysis which I do feel more confident about. 

The version of gettext I had previously installed (in April of 2013) was 0.18.2 dated 2012 -12-25

I downloaded the current release last week which is 0.18.3 dated 2013-07-07 and just now built and installed it.

Then I did: SVN co  GNU APL, ./configure ; make; sudo make install ; apl

and it all worked!! I tried ⎕NLT and got C. 

I'd like to test German or French but don't know how to do that as I don't know the IBM language codes.

Anyway seems we don't have to do anything about NLS (except mention gettext  in the Mac booklets along with M4)

The old saying "Timing is everything" sure seems to apply here.

respect….

The way configure is supposed to work is that it tests if it's possible to build with a library, and it will deselect it if it doesn't work.

Also, as far as I can tell, this issue only occurs if one has built gettext prior to upgrade to 10.9.

In this particular case, it seems reasonable for configure to warn what is going on.
