Description Andreas Hanke 2005-11-17 08:12:22 UTC

Some of the binaries in the star package show broken umlauts.

Try:

/usr/bin/smt -version
/usr/bin/star -version
/usr/bin/tartest -v

The "ö" character is not displayed correctly.

Comment 1 Andreas Hanke 2005-11-17 09:00:30 UTC

The problem seems to be in:

mt/mt.c
star/star.c
star/star_fat.c
tartest/tartest.c

But I can't get it to work because then it fails to link:

	==> LINKING "OBJ/i686-linux-gcc/star_fat"

It's the same error when converting these 4 files to UTF-8 or replacing "Ö" by "oe". I'm rebuilding from your .spec file. Rebuilding without modification works.

Lets not spend time and energy on maintaining a patch for such a cosmetic issue,
but rather get Jörg Schilling to fix it upstream.

Did you report it to him?

selinux have been disabled in newer version, and it builds just fine.
