Problem with German Umlaute

Problem with German Umlaute

[Bernd Klein]

Hi,
since I've upgraded to SuSE 10.0 I have a problem with gcc (Version: gcc 
version 4.0.2 20050901), while SuSE 9.3 used
gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

I can't read and write anymore any files which contain German Umlaute.
I am using the compiler option:

COMPILER= g++ -encoding=utf-8 -fPIC -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wreturn-type 
-ansi -pg -Wno-deprecated

I googled around a lot but couldn't find anything which worked.

I hope that somebody knows a solution for me!

Best wishes,

Bernd

Can you post an error message?  Does the problem affect file names or
file data?  What kind of files are you trying to access?

I am sorry, that I might have put you all on a wrong track.
The problem occurs in combination with the tcl-extension to my code. The pure 
c++ part works fine with Umlaute.

Thanks for your reply!

> Can you post an error message?  
The error messages are the ones which I produce:
e.g.
  fp = fopen("Veränderung.txt","r");
  if (!fp) {
    cout << "couldn't read file " << filename << endl;
    return 1;
  }

In the above case, I would get the error message:
couldn't read file Veränderung.txt

It works fine with all filenames without Umlauts

I haven't checked the content of files so far, but it affects the filenames
