Thanks for the info Petter, I'm wondering if we should NOT rely on the system locale at all (except for having an UTF-8 installed). This I mean in gnash core, not external code like test runners. Ben, would it be sensible to look for an UTF-8 local at start time and use it when needed for conversions ?
Petter: meanwhile maybe add the requirement to the wiki under "Settin up a slave" ? --strk; On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 11:54:15PM +0100, Petter Reinholdtsen wrote: > [strk] > > Seek for 'locale' and you'll fined no error in the kfreebsd one. > > Check end of file and you see "GNASH MUST WORK" test failing in one > > and not in the other. > > > > I'm now trying with LANG. > > I believe I found the cause of the locale related testsuite failures: > > % grep -r en_US testsuite/ > testsuite/simple.exp:set env(LANG) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/simple.exp:set env(LANGUAGE) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/simple.exp:set env(LC_ALL) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/network.all/network.exp:set env(LANG) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/network.all/network.exp:set env(LANGUAGE) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/network.all/network.exp:set env(LC_ALL) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/misc-haxe.all/classes.all/classes.exp:set env(LANG) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/misc-haxe.all/classes.all/classes.exp:set env(LANGUAGE) en_US.UTF-8 > testsuite/misc-haxe.all/classes.all/classes.exp:set env(LC_ALL) en_US.UTF-8 > % > > The test suite expect the en_US.UTF-8 locale to exist, and fail if it > does not. > > I would recommend adding a new testsuite test to verify that the > output of 'locale charmap' is UTF-8, and report an error with the > current locale if it is not.
