wxWidgets(-devel): install share/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/wxstd.mo

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

In relation to Poedit port which tries to copy wxstd.mo from wxWidgets into Poedit.app, I would like to request figuring out how to install translation files into ${prefix}/share/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/wxstd.mo. The translations are already part of wxWidgets, see locale/<lang>.po inside source, but they don't get installed. Maybe the necessary flag is --enable-xlocale, but I didn't test anything yet.

A hint from Václav Slavík, Poedit's author:

wx's 'make install' will install them only if the .mo files exist; if you are building from SVN, they do not and you have to run 'make allmo' in locale/ first.

I'll try to see if I can reproduce that and come up with a patch for the port.

As per the ticket guidelines, 'request' ticket type is for requesting new ports only.

The issues is solved in 2.9.5 (not in 2.8), however a different issue arises: can those files be installed and still allow for parallel installation of 2.8 and 2.9/3.0? I would prefer to "rename" the ticket rather than closing it until a feasible solution is found (or decided that wxWidgets don't need to be installed side-by-side).

Fixed in r108794. Even though this could in theory be a problem for a side-by-side installation, given that 2.8 doesn't install the files, this won't be the case until the version 3.1/3.2 gets released. Ubuntu installs a separate package just for translations of wxWidgets.
