With these patches, the programs + + col colcrt colrm column rev ul + +now work correctly in UTF-8 locales. This is done by using the ISO C / SUSV2 +i18n functions, therefore they will become effective when glibc-2.2 comes +out. For the moment, you can test the patches by + 1. defining ENABLE_WIDECHAR in defines.h + 2. Change the #if 0 to #if 1 in lib/widechar.h + 3. Modify your CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to include the directories where libutf8 + is installed. + + |
