FreeBSD actually supports the nl_langinfo interface, it just lacks the
macros you used - FRAC_DIGITS, THOUSANDS_SEP and DECIMAL_POINT, and so
does Debian too (see the simple program I posted in my previous posting
and the errors it emits during compilation on Debian). Btw I have not
checked if XaraLX compiles with FRAC_DIGITS on debian and if "yes" then
"why" (contradictory to the simple program).
This makes little sense now, after you converted nl_langinfo to
localeconv.
Btw I just added new port to the FreeBSD ports collection -
graphics/xaralx-devel it will follow the latest version of XaraLX
(currently it is at 849), while graphics/xaralx will stick to the
recommended version (currently 798). This way happy FreeBSD users can
choose which one to use and even install both (the former is installed
under XaraLX-devel).
Thanks for your fast response and for committing the patch.
