Well, I think I got the culprit: strxfrm().
Here's a small app that reproduces the problem for me:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
char buf[512];
int res = 0;
if (argc > 1)
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
res = strxfrm(buf, "test", sizeof(buf));
printf("%d, %s\n", res, buf);
return 0;
}
When I execute it with LC_ALL=C, the output is "4, test"
When I execute it with LC_ALL=en_US or LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8, I get "4, ".
Now I just have to find out why strxfrm() doesn't work (and I guess
this will be the hard part ;-) ).
Best regards

Hi,
I think we got an interesting fact here:
On my PowerPC MacMini, it works, too, like on your PowerPC Mac.
So the issue might be platform dependent.
The output of locale is as expected, all variables set to
de_DE.UTF-8. locale -a outputs the expected list of supported
locales, which include de_DE.UTF-8.
I had a look at /usr/share/locale, but I can't see anything wrong
here. The LC_COLLATE file is binary, so I have no clue what it
means. But I diffed it against the same file on my PowerPC MacMini,
and they are identical.
Can anyone else with a Intel Mac confirm this behaviour?
Just execute
export LANG=en_US
export LC_ALL=en_US
# start any GTK application, open a file chooser dialog, and check
if the sorting is correct (maybe try it with different directories).
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Thanks
Rolf

Hi,
@Yves
I've never seen the Gtk-Warning below, though I am using
"de_DE.UTF-8". My open file dialog of Gnucash also shows
everything in alphabetical order. Something else must be wrong.
@Rolf, as you are using an Intel-Mac and I am sitting on a
PowerPC: What's in your /usr/share/locale/ ? That seems to be the
place where GTK-apps get their localization stuff (I was able to
fix Gnucash's missing EURO-Sign (€) by editing /usr/share/locale/
de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MONETARY. ) . What happens if you type "locale" and
"locale -a" in a terminal?
@all If GTK-apps read their language specific settings from usr/
share/locale, what is /opt/local/share/locale used for ????
Best Regards, Peter

Hi
first of all, any gtk app will kindly tell you that :
Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback C locale.
And the only way of dealing with many problems is indeed to avoid
localisation.
But I do use LANG=fr and nothing else (no _CA, no LC_ALL) and many
things do work quite fine, including gimp.
