Trouble with Locale

Trouble with Locale

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

Hello all,

I am building crosstool-ng starting with this small script:


curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/rust-buildbot/a35c53e21a789cc782ec51f2fdefc1e3f8767c42/slaves/linux-cross/build_toolchain_root.sh
| bash

mkdir /x-tools

mkdir ~/ct

cd ~/ct

ct-ng menuconfig

# Note: picked the following options...
# Target options > Target architecture = x86
# Target options > Bitness = 64
# Operating System > Linux kernel version = 3.2.72
# C-library > C library = uClibc
# C compiler > option "C++" enabled

ct-ng build


------

But I'm getting an error with
.build/x86_64-unknown-linux-uclibc/build/build-libc-headers/extra/locale/c8tables.h
containing a message about a missing information, asking to enable
en_US.utf-8


My thought is that I may be missing some locale package on my box that
I'm building with, but I have gcc-5-locales and locales packages each
installed on my ubuntu 16.04. I don't know what to do to get it to
move past this error.

In addition, the particular error I got was:

And the file c8tables.h contains:

"could not find a UTF8 locale ... please enable en_US.UTF-8"

What version of uClibc is used?
Is there really a specific use case for an embedded device or
project where you need uClibc locale support?

Re: Trouble with Locale

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

I should also add that the reason I believe I need it is to check the
libc tests that rust provides in order to know that libc is operating
correctly. Please

I'm adding a uclibc cross compile target for the rust compiler. I am
using the 1.0.9 version, the most up to date that crosstool allows. It
isn't so much embedded device support that is desired as it is that we
want to reduce our trusted computing base as much as possible. Musl
was another possibility, but I haven't had time to explore that route.

Can a uclibc cross compiler be compiled with locale support at all?

Yes. Can you cross-check with internal toolchain support in Buildroot?
They use the latest uClibc-ng version and I remember to have fixed
an Locale problem in the past for some Host systems.

Re: Trouble with Locale

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

Well, I did need to be able to use whichever toolchain was specified
to build rust. I suppose there is a dedicated directory for the
particular buildroot internal toolchain. I will try and point the rust
compilation toward that in order to maintain a common version of
underlying dependencies between software.

Does this sound like a correct approach?
