Re: Cross compiling .mo files for another platform ?

["rush ta" <anjutagtk gmail com>]

hello....
Ok i got the application compiled for ARM architecture !!
I copied the APPLICATION_NAME.mo file to /usr/local/share/locale/hi_IN/LC_MESSAGES/
when i run the application i get following error.

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

Gtk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
Using the fallback 'C' locale....


Clearly it is not find the language installed ...
How do i resolve the issue ??

I do have gettext 
binary in /usr/bin but none of the other gettext-tools ....
Do i need any other files ?



Regards
Rush

msgfmt is what compiles the .po into .mo files.
Unless there is an issue of byte order, I do not think you would need to
recompile the .mo files.
To test, get hold of "msgfmt" (package: gettext-tools) on ARM and
compile a sample .po file. Do the same on your desktop and compare the
two files.
