I've got a problem when trying to run wxJS on Ubuntu:

SpiderMonkey (the JavaScript engine) uses 2-bytes (jschar) to represent
a unicode string. wxWidgets uses wchar_t which uses 4-bytes on Linux. Is
there a way to make a conversion from a wxString (encoded in UTF16) to a
jschar?

I don't need this on Windows, because windows also uses 2-bytes for wchar_t.

I know you can build an application with -fshort-wchar but this option
can break compatibility between other applications.

Franky.

Yes, use wxMBConvUTF16.

jschar is UTF-16

UTF-16 is not 4-bytes. 16 stands for 16 bits, i.e. 2 bytes.

It's because Windows API uses UTF-16 for everything.

I know. But wxString uses wchar_t, which is 4 bytes on Linux, and 2
bytes on Windows.
