[Mingw-cross-env-list] [PATCH] Build locales for wxWidgets

[Moritz Bunkus]

Hey,

I'm new to mingw-cross-env. So far I've built my project MKVToolNix ( 
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/ ) with self-built cross 
compilers or with Ubuntu's pre-packaged versions and a lot of self-built 
libraries. Now I want to switch to gcc 4.6.1 due to its support for 
C++11, and Ubuntu's still at 4.4.x. So I came across mingw-cross-env.

Setup succeeded so far. Building MKVToolNix succeeds as well after 
installing these packages:
  make JOBS=8 gcc gettext boost bzip2 curl flac expat libiconv mingwrt 
ogg pthreads vorbis w32api wxwidgets zlib

So what I noticed was missing for my purposes are three things:

1. For packaging the installer for MKVToolNix I also need wxWidget's 
compiled locales. These are not built by its default Makefile and hence 
not installed. Therefore I propose the attached patch which builds the 
locales. You need to have gettext installed (meaning the host needs 
gettext, not the mingw gettext) as you need the msgfmt executable. I 
don't know what this project's policies about locale files are but I 
noticed that there is at least one package that installs its locales 
(libidl) after the "make" shown above.

2. A package for libfile ("magic")
3. A package for liblzo

I'll probably work on 2 & 3 myself, but maybe someone else has already 
done some work in that direction as well.

Kind regards,
mosu
