I am working on toolchain maintained for arm port. I am using option
disable-nls to disable language internationalization. so default locales
installed will be "C" and "POSIX". To set up other locale, i use
localedef option.
As far my knowledge, disable-nls will disable functionality of gettext
utility.
Yes, I believe that's the case.
With the libc installation, locale data too get installed, By locale
data, i meant local definitions file, charmaps and message formatter
file (.mo files).
On disabling language internationalization, why are the locale data
files still needed?
Probably because nobody tries it out. You can always remove the files by
hand.
Is there a way, or any option already available in libc not to get
locale data files installed?
Thanking you.
Alternatively you may wish to look at http://www.eglibc.org, which is
libc but with configuration options. Take a look at the
OPTIONS_EGLIBC_LOCALES feature which disables locale definitions.
Cheers,
Carlos.
