In case it helps, the Win64 build requires the following patch: in pan/general/e-util.cc, around line 210
EvolutionDateMaker :: EvolutionDateMaker (time_t now) { // build the locale strings - locale_recent = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("%l∶%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); - locale_today = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("Today %l∶%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); - locale_this_week = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("%a %l∶%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); - locale_this_year = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("%b %d %l∶%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); + locale_recent = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("%l:%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); + locale_today = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("Today %l:%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); + locale_this_week = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("%a %l:%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); + locale_this_year = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("%b %d %l:%M %p"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); locale_old = g_locale_from_utf8 (_("%b %d %Y"), -1, NULL, NULL, NULL); // set the current time Basically, the 4 lines above contain a "non-space" "space" character, or it might be the ':' character - I don't remember, which the patch replaces with a normal character. I had presumed that this was a Win64-only patch and was in no hurry to submit a patch which might break normal Pan operation.
