[mkgmap-dev] Problem with compiling TYP containing Cyrillic characters (mkgmap r2673)

Tue Oct 8 23:23:00 BST 2013

Steve,

Issue 1+2: think that makes sense... should solve my actual problem.

Issue 3: I did adapt the 'build' process so that the CodePage option is 
commented out during creation... but nevertheless I think it makes sense 
to be able to 'override' the things set in the file by the cli option.

Could you give accesss to a 'built' version ? I'm not that familiar with 
the build process. Means it would be easier and for sure much faster and 
safer if someone else could be the complete package for me to test.

Many thanks for the quick reaction anyway.

Patrik
