I can emerge xterm when my locale settings are set to C, but when I set them to et_EE.utf8, configure fails. The problem is similar or even identical to bug 103483 (this was mine as well) and can be solved the same way. I have already created a patch. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.export LANG=et_EE.utf8 2.emerge xterm 3.
Created attachment 68002 [details, diff] 01_all_xterm-LANG.patch This is, essentially, the same as the patch for bug 103483 by spanKY. Works, too.
Thomas, want this for upstream patching too?
I can probably fix it just by distributing the autoconf 2.52-flavor of the configure script. That has some locale fixes (though larger). I'll check/see. This is the first report for xterm in that area, though I've seen some things to fix with ncurses and lynx over the past couple of years.
I've added the patch into portage for now -- hopefully, we'll see the autoconf-2.52 version of the configure script in xterm-205 :) Thanks everyone!
yes, that's in my current changes. There are other configure script changes, and I've a report of some problem with one of the tests (for Athena widgets) that I'll look at next. Most of the time since #205 has been on the #90717 issue - last night's changes seem to work well on all of the window managers I've got installed (will retest of course).
i notice 204 doesn't run at all under xfce4.2 whereas 200-r3 did. just burns cpu.
I haven't tested with xfce (I have fvwm, ion2, ion3, IceWM, KDE, GNOME). Had been sort of ignoring xfce (will look into it when I get to a good point to update).
reopening, because xterm-205 is the proper fix
fixed with xterm-205, in portage in a few minutes
