Bug 186092 – sys-devel/flex-2.5.33 uses gettext incorrectly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Evgeniy Dushistov 2007-07-21 12:37:48 UTC]

On my machine with LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8,
all flex messages looks like '????????'.

This is because of to force gettext work,
should be calls like this
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
setlocale(LC_MESSAGE, "");

but flex uses only the second one,

this bug already fixed in flex cvs

Reproducible: Always
