About a week ago, I have installed |
| 2 |
gtypist and tried to run it with ru.typ |
| 3 |
that comes with it: |
| 4 |
$ gtypist ru.typ |
| 5 |
gtypist: line 34: iconv() failed on 'B: Добро пожаловать!': |
| 6 |
Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character |
| 7 |
You should probably use a UTF-8 locale for the selected lesson! |
| 8 |
: |
| 9 |
? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
What can I do about it? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
My |
| 14 |
$ locale |
| 15 |
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 |
| 16 |
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 |
| 17 |
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 |
| 18 |
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 |
| 19 |
LC_COLLATE=C |
| 20 |
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 |

I have already posted this question on gtypist mailing list |
| 32 |
and got the answers that |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
1. This doesn't happen on Debian stable with the same |
| 35 |
version of gtypist and the same locale. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
2. In this case, iconv shouldn't be called at all as it is only |
| 38 |
used to convert UTF-8 lessons to an 8-bit locale (like russian-8bit). |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Below is the additional details of the second answer: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
iconv conversion is only used if no UTF-8 locale is detected. |
| 43 |
This is how it is detected: |
| 44 |
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gtypist.git;a=blob;f=src/gtypist.c;h=7328ac6262ae9f8c3cfe89a368bd585fcd59b7e6;hb=refs/heads/branch-2.9): |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
#ifdef MINGW |
| 47 |
locale_encoding = "UTF-8"; |
| 48 |
#else |
| 49 |
locale_encoding = nl_langinfo(CODESET); |
| 50 |
#endif |
| 51 |
isUTF8Locale = strcasecmp(locale_encoding, "UTF-8") == 0 || |
| 52 |
strcasecmp(locale_encoding, "UTF8") == 0; |
| 53 |
/* printf("encoding is %s, UTF8=%d\n", locale_encoding, isUTF8Locale); */ |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Since you build from source on gentoo: |
| 56 |
Can you check whether this appears when running ./configure? |
| 57 |
checking for nl_langinfo and CODESET... yes |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Also, which arguments are used for ./configure? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
If that doesn't help, can you enable to printf above and post the |
| 62 |
output? |
