Hello all,

Just started moving to latest buildroot dev tree. I have hit an error using the attached config, it is a pretty plain x86 config but with locale support.

It fails to build uClibc with this error:
LN include/sys/vm86.h
HOSTCC extra/locale/gen_wc8bit
extra/locale/gen_wc8bit.c: In function 'main':
extra/locale/gen_wc8bit.c:356: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
extra/locale/gen_wc8bit.c:415: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
extra/locale/gen_wc8bit.c:481: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
GEN extra/locale/codesets.txt
GEN extra/locale/c8tables.h
setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"en_US.UTF-8") failed!
make[1]: *** [extra/locale/c8tables.h] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/willw/buildroot/output/toolchain/uClibc-0.9.30.1'
make: *** [/home/willw/buildroot/output/toolchain/uClibc-0.9.30.1/.configured] Error 2

I vaguely remember seeing something on the mailing list previously but I have not been able to find it.

Any help much appreciated.

Will.

Hello all,

Just started moving to latest buildroot dev tree. I have hit an error using the attached config, it is a pretty plain x86 config but with locale support.

It fails to build uClibc with this error:

This looks like your host system does not support the en_US.UTF-8 locale, although that would seem unlikely. Is it listed by locale -a?

locale -a lists:
C
en_GB.utf8
POSIX

Is the easiest way of fixing this just going to be to add the extra locale?

Thanks.

Yes, that will be the easiest way. I would not recommend looking at the locale code!
