Description Sven E. 2009-07-13 11:09:53 UTC

gelst enforces icu on xercs-c. Since xercs ofers icu OR iconv as i18n, ist there any particular reason, icu is enforced? Is xerces-c's i18n api interface not stable against the choice of i18n backend?


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
If glest needs i18n in xercs-c, it should be up to the user to decide which i18n he wants to use.

No, it forces either icu *or* -iconv -icu.  Your choice, but it doesn't work correctly otherwise.

Comment 2 Sven E. 2009-07-13 17:03:44 UTC

So, is this a broken in xercs-c then?

Why would something work with icu fopr i18n, but not iconv? But then again without any i18n?

Something sems to be broken.
