Hello,
I noticed that compiling buildroot a few times without "make clean" the
size of locale-archive file in $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/locale is increasing.
The strange thing is that it occures about three times and then it stops
increasing.
My solution for this issue is following:
--- Makefile 2019-01-04 10:03:37.136971246 +0100
+++ Makefile 2019-01-04 10:39:15.298119675 +0100
@@ -647,6 +647,7 @@ PACKAGES += host-localedef
define GENERATE_GLIBC_LOCALES
$(Q)mkdir -p $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/locale/
+ $(Q)rm -f $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
$(Q)for locale in $(GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES) ; do \
inputfile=`echo $${locale} | cut -f1 -d'.'` ; \
charmap=`echo $${locale} | cut -f2 -d'.' -s` ; \
Is that patch proper as a fix for this problem? Or maybe there is better
solution?
Kind Regards,
Witold Kowolik

Hello Witold,

I was not able to reproduce. I built the following defconfig:
BR2_arm=y
BR2_cortex_a8=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LINARO_ARM=y
BR2_INIT_NONE=y
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH_NONE=y
BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE="fr_FR.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8"
# BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set
After the first build, the size of output/target/usr/lib/locale was:
$ du -sb output/target/usr/lib/locale/
1678944 output/target/usr/lib/locale/
Then I restarted "make" (without doing "make clean"), and looked at the
size again, and it was exactly the same.
Could you provide a defconfig + scenario that allows to reproduce the
issue, and indicate which version of Buildroot you're using ? We
recently updated localedef, perhaps the behavior changed ?
Thanks,
Thomas
