1363506 - Cannot find OSPreferences Symbols on MinGW Build when compiling with --without-intl-api

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Tom Ritter [:tjr]]

I'm getting a linking error at the end of a MinGW build that includes ac_add_options --without-intl-api:

> 8:34.68 ../../intl/locale/Unified_cpp_intl_locale0.o: In function `ZN7mozilla4intl13OSPreferences16GetSystemLocalesER8nsTArrayI9nsCStringE':

When I remove '--without-intl-api' I do not see the linking errors, and the build fails with:

This is extremely low priority, probably even WONTFIX, since I'm not aware of any consumers who need to compile in this configuration.

We don't support --without-intl-api on Windows build.  It will work for spidermonkey only build.  --without-intl-api will work on Fennec/android.
