397.0. "What does disable-nls do on the Unix configure command?" by CX3PST::BSS::SAUL () Tue Mar 11 1997 12:00

Hi,

Customer had a curious type question as opposed to something 
not working type question.  On the configure script for Unix,
what does the disable-nls do?  If one customer asked, I'm sure
others will too.  Thanks.

397.1--disable-nls means "do not use Native Language Support"COOKIE::LEWISTue Mar 11 1997 14:1617
You can get help on the configure command on the unix system by
entering 

configure --help   at the unix prompt.

From the help it provides it indicates the following


--disable-nls           do not use Native Language Support

I believe we had to include this because with out it there were "time"
problems in European countries (actually anything east of Greenich).
See note 295.  I believe the disable-nls was to prevent this from happening.

Hope that helps

Jim
