I am trying, without success, to compile a custom locale for the utf-8
character set. I have issued this command:
localedef --no-archive -f UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd.utf8
which produces the requisite files without reporting an error but
which none-the-less insists on using the iso-8859-1 charset:
LC_ALL=en_CA@yyyy-mm-dd locale charmap
ISO-8859-1
So, I tried this variant:
localedef --no-archive -f /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd.utf8
character map file `/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8' not found: No such
file or directory
no output file produced because warnings were issued
Missing UTF-8 file?
ll /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8*
. . .
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 240800 Aug 27 09:28 UTF-8.gz
. . .
Ok, let us try again:
localedef --no-archive -f /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd.utf8
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz:1: syntax error in prolog: invalid
definition
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz:2: syntax error in prolog: invalid
definition
memory clobbered past end of allocated block
Aborted
OK, fine, be that way.
cd /usr/share/i18n/charmaps
gunzip UTF-8.gz
ll UTF-8*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1432559 Aug 27 09:28 UTF-8
localedef --no-archive -f /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd.utf8
LC_ALL=en_CA@yyyy-mm-dd locale charmap
ISO-8859-1
Ok, I give up. What little tid-bit of information am I overlooking or
just not understanding correctly. How do I get this thing built with
the UTF-8 character set?
