Upgrading the nightly?

<< < (2/2)

Drugwash:
Hello everybody.
Sorry for barging it, but I thought I'd better use an existing thread than opening a new one, on a possibly already known issue. I tried the board search on related subjects, but I could find none. I apologyze if my searching skills were not good enough.

As reported in bug #7570, I'm running Win98SE (with some system file upgrades) and upon installing and trying to compile a project in v1.0 RC2, I suddenly got Chinese characters in the build log. After I saw that tampering with the program's settings could not get to a positive result, I tried to install the latest (22 may) nightly (in a separate folder). Upon starting it, I got a 'missing file' dialog, regarding wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll (apparently unicode version). The ANSI version of that file was in that folder, I downloaded and installed it manually, as instructed in the nightly announcement post.

Now my question is: are the nightlies Unicode only, or have I done something wrong? More important: is there a way to get any of the builds -either RC2 or nightly- to work correctly on a 9x system? And please, don't ask why I'm still using that or ask me to upgrade - this is not an option.

Here's what's all about. Thank you for any reply.


[EDIT]
OK, I poked around a bit and noticed the 14 May build that was supposed to be ANSI, but in fact it's Unicode too. So I realized the current builds are Unicode only. The above question stays, though: what should a 9x user do to get it working (at least to fix the wrong characters display)?

Try this instead.

Drugwash:
Thank you, but still no luck. Code::Blocks, Code::Blocks Debug and Build log are still in Chinese, and even the 'Tip of the day' is in Chinese.
I tried with:
- Internationalization ON, System default
- Internationalization ON, Available languages
- Internalization OFF
I always restarted the application after changing settings, as instructed. There was no difference at all.
The only log that appears in English is the Build messages log. I don't know about the Search and Debugger log, I didn't get any text in there yet.

I have some upgraded system files on my system so it may be that the application wrongfully detects Win98SE as another OS and unlocks Unicode display in some sections. Or maybe the system default codepage is not correctly read. Again - as specified in the bug report - my system is standard English with Romanian regional settings.

I'll be waiting for other suggestions. Thank you for your help so far.

Odd.... Maybe a developer knows more?
