I'm quite sure he wouldn't have pointed you to the wrong list. BLFS,
not LFS, installs fluxbox. Please report this to blfs-dev or (probably
better) [email protected] instead.
No. I meant lfs-dev.
I suspected that the new text about locales at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.1/chapter07/profile.html is
still wrong. Judging from the message, it is evident that Thomas Trepl
has never tried [EMAIL PROTECTED] (case-sensitive), LC_ALL
unset (that's what the book recommends now). If that works, there is no
need to change the text. My testing here shows that X accepts such
locale name.
Background: glibc treats charset names in the locale names
case-insensitively and ignores hyphens. So, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] are the same thing for glibc. But not for
applications/libraries that parse locale names themselves, without the
help from glibc. Xlib is one of those picky libraries, and fluxbox is
just a victim. LFS should provide readers with the means to guess the
locale name that will be accepted by such picky packages.
