lang files

[nu2fbsd]

Is it possible to stop compilation and installation of language files other than what is used and needed?

 

[SirDice]

No, yes, maybe. What port are you talking about?

 

[nu2fbsd]

All the ports I have installed on my system. I use only English.

 

[SirDice]

Then what language files are you talking about? I don't seem to have any.

Language files are usually handled by WITHOUT_NLS ifdef, cf. gettext section in porter's handbook. If the port doesn't respect it then you should complain to the maintainer.
Note, some ports may require a bit of hacking[1], e.g. you'd have to write gettext no-op in order to teach glib/gtk about WITHOUT_NLS.

[1] example of the hack - gettext.hpp
