Subject: a first question
hi everybody,
I've used ion1 for quite some time now (und MacOS X 10.4.7) and it suits
me very well so far. a big 'thank you' to the author.
now I noticed that ion3 (more precisely 3ds-20060305) can be installed
via `DarinPorts' and so I did yesterday in order to give it a try. it
runs just fine but every message coming from `ion3' is in finnish.
mailing to the darwinports list yielded no response and therefore...
before mailing to this list I tried to install the most recent version
of `ion3' manually but did not manage to get the `configure' run through
without errors (in the end it was not satisfied with the lua lib version
which was installed during the abovementioned darwinports install).
I gave up here and just would appreciate any feedback concerning the
following:
1.
are the finnish messages hard-coded into the mentioned version or can I
do something about it?
2.
where are the old F11 (restart) F12(exit) bindings of ion1 gone?
3.
I believe the fact that ion is available as an easily installable
package on Darwinports (ion3) and `fink' (ion1) helps a lot to get if
spread a bit more (which I think would be desirable). I only learnt of
it's existense that way. question: is someone able to contact the
darwinports people to get an 'international' (non-finnish localized)
version into their system?
thanks in advance
joerg van den hoff

No, just like in about every *nix program, english is "hard-coded",
but wrapped into functions that translate to other languages, for
which translation files are provided. Something seems to tell Ion
or libc that your system is using Finnish locale, or someone has
hard-coded that locale in the port.
where are the old F11 (restart) F12(exit) bindings of ion1 gone?
There's just the F12 menu, and there under "session" you may find
exit and restart. In a recent version the menu is infact a "query
menu", so you may just start typing "ex" or "res", and let
tab-completion do the rest.
thanks for the response(s). it is not the locale, though (I would have
other problems, too, in this case...):
LANG="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL="C"
so the port from 'DarwinPorts' seems to have the finnish locale
hard-coded in it somehow (and the F12 menu looks therefore kryptic, to
say the least :-)) which is a pitty: probably much more people find it
there than on its home page. anyway I'll have to try to compile ion3 myself.
thanks again,
joerg
