[Buildroot] Problems with special characters in filenames

[Buildroot] Problems with special characters in filenames

[Juerg Haefliger]

Hi,

I have filenames with umlauts (special German characters) that are
displayed as '??' in busybox shell. I've tried the below config
changes to get those umlauts to display properly but it's  not
working. What am I missing?

Thanks
...Juerg

- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_WCHAR=y
+BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LOCALE=y
+# BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_PURGE is not set
+BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE="en_US de_CH"

busybox config fragment:
CONFIG_LOCALE_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT=y
# CONFIG_UNICODE_USING_LOCALE is not set
CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_UNICODE_IN_ENV=y
CONFIG_SUBST_WCHAR=63
CONFIG_LAST_SUPPORTED_WCHAR=767
CONFIG_UNICODE_COMBINING_WCHARS=y
CONFIG_UNICODE_WIDE_WCHARS=y
# CONFIG_UNICODE_BIDI_SUPPORT is not set
# CONFIG_UNICODE_NEUTRAL_TABLE is not set
# CONFIG_UNICODE_PRESERVE_BROKEN is not set

Maybe
	$ export LANG=en_US.utf8
or
	$ export LANG=de_CH.utf8

AH, yes. That helps :-)

Thanks a lot for the hint!
