Should I?
I think so, since AFAIK LIBC_WCTYPE_USES_UCS4 would be wrong: From what I understand from the past discussions the FreeBSD libc uses UCS4, but libstdc++ has no proper wchar_t support compiled in. And we are not interested at all what libc does: What we need is a 32bit wide wchar_t, and a libstdc++ that has the needed wchar_t support and uses UCS4. Whether it implements this with the help of libc, or whether it has own code does not matter for us, because we don't use libc directly (we did at some point in time, but it turned out that it did not work). > Koji, does the patch work for you? > > Georg, does it look right to you? Yes. But I think that a comment should be added in configure.ac why FreeBSD is excluded, probably pointing to the libstdc++ bug report (or the lyx-devel thread). Then it will be easy to check whether the FreeBSD exclusion can be removed or not if somebody stumbles over the test and wonders why it is there. Georg
