Most of the problems I have been experiencing with gentoo embedded have |
| 2 |
been related to localization (gettext/libintl/libiconv). Here are some |
| 3 |
examples: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
'make menuconfig' and 'make oldconfig' does not work out of the box |
| 6 |
(looks like they are experiencing this on uclibc list too?) |

Some applications don't link: |
| 10 |
for example eject (Adding LDADD=-lintl is a workaround) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Some applications don't compile (at least gcc does not in ~x86: |
| 13 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104237) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Many ebuilds compile but has not proper RDEPEND. They often lack |
| 16 |
libiconv or gettext dependency. |
| 17 |
For example: |
| 18 |
gdb: readline libiconv |
| 19 |
eject: gettext |
| 20 |
mpd: libiconv |
| 21 |
mpc: libiconv |
| 22 |
cvs: gettext |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
etc... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Since this is a returning problem, I wonder if there is something we |
| 27 |
could do about it. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Is a standard way to handle localization problems with uclibc? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Should localization in uclibc be mentioned in developer docs? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Should the ebuilds with dependency related problems be reported one by |
| 34 |
one or can we make a bulk? (ie try to find all affected ebuilds and |
| 35 |
report as single bug) |
