Meaning i686-w64-mingw32-gcc uses the Microsoft libraries vs. cygwin gcc using posix compliant libraries? Implying LC_MESSAGES not being defined is yet another instance of Microsoft not following accepted standards? The background for my question is https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/issues/770 Tidy removed the setlocale call from the library init function, so if users want a specific locale/language they're going to have to set it up themselves. I'd like to update the tidylib example code showing how to set the language, but setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); tidySetLanguage( setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, NULL) ); probably isn't a good example if LC_MESSAGES is missing on some systems.
