1) With LC_MESSAGES (or just LANG) set, for example to ru_RU.UTF-8, but plenty of others, the configure step aborts: >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/x11-misc/fbpanel-5.6/work/fbpanel-5.6 ... ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 Default value of 'endianess' couldn't be set from '`scripts/endianess.sh`' Set it explicitly with '--endianess=value' * ERROR: x11-misc/fbpanel-5.6 failed: * econf failed 2) The scripts/endianess.sh mentioned above is a script that besides assuming all the world's English, also assumes anything that's not x86 is big-endian. This is wrong for at least arm, probably also alpha. However, this might only be cosmetic: I cannot find any part of the code that actually checks the endianness. 3) With LC_CTYPE set to tr_TR.UTF-8, the configure passes, but the build aborts due to incorrect tr usage in the configure script: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/x11-misc/fbpanel-5.6/work/fbpanel-5.6 ... make -j1 make[1]: Entering directory

Can you attach an ebuild, please.
The ebuild can be seen at http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/x11-misc/fbpanel/fbpanel-5.6.ebuild?rev=1.1&view=markup But it is very basic. It uses our base eclass, which essentially just runs ./configure && make && make install
As mentioned in the error message i added the following: src_configure() { local myconf="--endianess=LITTLE" econf ${myconf} } to an overlay ebuild. The value LITTLE i found somewhere else. No it compiles and works. But i think this is'nt the right way. I think this endianess value should be provided by the environment. But i don't know what it realy means and where to set it right.
try 6.0
6.0 no longer calls endianess.sh, so that takes care of the first two problems. It still fails on #3 though.
Created attachment 225237 [details] ebuild applying patch
Created attachment 225239 [details, diff] patch for above ebuild
(In reply to comment #5) > 6.0 no longer calls endianess.sh, so that takes care of the first two problems. > It still fails on #3 though. > try the attachments please.
with LC_CTYPE=tr_TR.UTF-8 ./configure generates config.mk with wrong variable names - they all caps besides 'i' which is lower case, e.g PREFiX = /home/anatoly/.local/ EPREFiX = /home/anatoly/.local/ BiNDiR = /home/anatoly/.local//bin SBiNDiR = /home/anatoly/.local//sbin
even with the above patch?? it should reset LC_CTYPE to C if defined
I mean that's why unpatched configure does not work. BTW, gnu autoconf has this code in a its configure script # NLS nuisances. LC_ALL=C export LC_ALL LANGUAGE=C export LANGUAGE and it solves the problem as well. I'll commit it to fbpanel source

Thanks for pointing that. I've commited your patch
+ 25 Mar 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> fbpanel-6.0.ebuild, + +files/fbpanel-6.0-configure-LANG.patch: + Reset language vars to C in ./configure wrt #304373 by Harald van Dijk.
Thanks, it builds, installs and runs now.
