#91 Localization issues with building on arch?

[hoobertuder]

Following the notes on compiling on arch and linux in general, I have been attempting to make cde on arch linux.

It is failing, I believe due to locialization issues, problem is I enabled the necessary localizations ...

[mother@netnoob44 ~]$ locale -a

Here are the ones I have enabled in locale.gen

en_US ISO-8859-1

es_ES ISO-8859-1

de_DE ISO-8859-1

es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8

And now the relevant part of the build log, will post a complete build log soon.

It looks like its complaining about locales, but I have the enabled, what else must I do?

[Mike T.]

I'm having thr same problem trying to build release 2.3.1 on debian buster. Any ideas..?

# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
en_GB.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

[hoobertuder]

Nope. Never fixed it and never got replied to about it. 

 

I think it's related to what CDE thinks the locales will be called versus what they're actually called.

Then specified the locale when running 'make World'

root # cd cdesktopenv-code/cde *
root # make World IMAKEDEFINES='-DDtLocalesToBuild="enUS.UTF-8"'*

[hoobertuder]

I tried that as well, no luck.

 

works on openbsd without specifying any locales, though. but I haven't been able to make it work on a single linux distro

It would sem that specifing the local to build might be what is needed..?

[Mike T.]

What distributions have you tried?

Is there an excisting display/window manager already installed?

What is your default locale?

[hoobertuder]

Default locale was c

but I use en us utf8 for everything, I think.

 

I have tried debian, arch and some forks of arch.

 

I have added pretty much every locale its asked me to although i had the correct names for them..

[Mike T.]

Is there an excisting display/window manager already installed?

[Mike T.]

I found that

make World IMAKE_DEFINES='-DDtLocalesToBuild="en_US.UTF-8"'

worked - on a 86 and ARM.

However,

make World IMAKE_DEFINES='-DDtLocalesToBuild="en_GB.UTF-8"'

Did not.

[Andrey]

Is there any solution? Can't compile on Manjaro, the same problem

[Danilo Pecher]

I'm currently working on a solution. As a stop-gap measure, you can just install and ignore the errors for missing files. The CDE will work just fine, but the help system will be empty.

[Andrey]

Thank you, it works! But for some reason there is no dtstyle...

[Roger Brown]

Hi, I have set up a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux that works on x86_64, armv7h and aarch64.

https://sourceforge.net/p/rhubarb-pi/code/HEAD/tree/branches/pacman/pkg/cdesktopenv/PKGBUILD

This requires a symbolic link provided by

https://sourceforge.net/p/rhubarb-pi/code/HEAD/tree/branches/pacman/pkg/usr-lib-cpp/PKGBUILD

Results are: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rhubarb-pi/files/pacman/

Yes, you do need to set up the locale first.

Regards,
Roger

[Roger Brown]

I use a docker image to build the packages so they don't snapshot my entire system, the start of that sets up the locale...

FROM archlinux:base-devel
WORKDIR /tmp

RUN grep -v NoExtract < /etc/pacman.conf > /etc/pacman.conf.NoExtract && mv /etc/pacman.conf.NoExtract /etc/pacman.conf

RUN echo $'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8\n\

fr_FR ISO-8859-1\n\
it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8\n\
it_IT ISO-8859-1' > /etc/locale.gen

RUN pacman -Sy --noconfirm glibc

RUN pacman -Sy --noconfirm subversion

RUN useradd -m -d /home/packager -g users packager

RUN pacman -Sy --noconfirm subversion xorg-server dnsutils libxinerama libxss ncurses openmotif rpcbind xbitmaps ksh tcl compress libxaw xorg-xrdb

rg-server-devel git bison flex bc rpcsvc-proto

There is more that follows but that is for my setting up of my GPG keys and repository.

[Roger Brown]

The arch docker images unfortunately disable the locale with NoExtract so I remove that from /etc/pacman.conf, then I set up /etc/locale.gen with what we need, then reload glibc which will then generate the locales.

[noeu]

I saw this with exactly the same error message (dtdocbook fatal error) problem but couldn't solve it.

https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/
After that, when I look at the Linux Build information, it says that ncompress is needed to build the help file.
Installing ncompress fixed this issue.

If you have the same problem and can't solve it, check for ncompress.
