Excuse me, if it is not correct mailing list to post this message (if so, please point me to the right one).
The problem is: I'm trying to build small utility program written in plane "C" with gcc under Win98/Cygwin (since it should run under command.com I use "-mnocygwin"). Among other things my utility must print to the stdout short text string from a text file, generated by another program. This text is in Russian language and uses Windows encoding (1251). Here I get the problem: instead of normal Russian text I see on the screen absolutely wrong symbols! :-( If I write the same text in the same encoding in a shell script (for example "echo Это русский текст") and run it under Cygwin - everything is Ok! But the C-program can not make the "right" output using printf(). May be somebody can give me an advice, how I can change the C-source in order to get the correct output. (To tell the truth I am not very familiar with all these locale things). -- Thank you Alexey Lyubimov -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
