Hi Ralph, Thanks for getting back to us. On 2010.03.14 07:47, Xiaofan Chen wrote:

Yes, I don't think we need to set all the variables. Our only concern here is having to require our users to set anything manually before they can run make, otherwise, any set of variables that works is fine.
or do you actually need LANG to be set?
From Xiaofan's tests, we probably don't need LANG to be set then. But definitely need some of these locales set to prevent the libtool issue. Was LANG the only problematic variable for SCO?
Autoconf-generated configure scripts set these two unconditionally, so I don't expect any problems there.Somehow under MinGW I had the issue even though the configure scripts are generated by Autoconf. http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Problem-compiling-with-MingW-p27809936.html With the forced Locale settings and it became fine. http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Problem-compiling-with-MingW-p27810019.html
Indeed, it seems we can only get libtool working, on a (some) systems where the locale variables are not set, unless the libtool script sets some of them.
Tim, this code was from some initial revision in '97. Do I gather correctly that it has no relevance today, and that we should just remove this?Pete's response here. We think that SCO may not be relevant now. http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Problem-compiling-with-MingW-p27816064.html
If the SCO specifics are no longer relevant, forcing the locale variables unconditionally in future versions of libtool would be our preferred solution, but we obviously don't know if that's a possibility for you.
Regards, /Pete
