Hi Charsten, thanks for starting looking into this issue. > Running "LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 wc --help" on a jessie-kfreebsd machine and > in a sid chroot shows me a german help text.
i made now also some tests on a posterbox and came to the same conclusion, that the LC_Settings are correctly applied :D I added the Kde/Qt team, because for me it looks like the issue is maybe a Qt one and/or the tests are wrong.. I had the same issue for all platforms, but for all expect FreeBSDs ones I could solved this issue by setting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8. I also tried de_DE.UTF-8, de_DE.utf8 and en_US.UTF-8 etc. After some back and force i now found the base issue of this. The tests are using Qt for converting mbchars <-> QByteArrays and if i request the actual QTextCodec::codecForLocale() i get "US_ASCII". If I manualy set the locale via auto codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"); QTextCodec::setCodecForLocale(codec); The test are passing. Now the question rises, why is LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 not enough to trigger QTextCodec::codecForLocale() to return the correct value? src/csync/std/c_utf8.cpp: mbchar_t* c_utf8_string_to_locale(const char *str) { auto codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"); //Added -> test pases QTextCodec::setCodecForLocale(codec); //Added -> test pases return c_strdup(QFile::encodeName(QString::fromUtf8(str))); } QByteArray c_utf8_from_locale(const mbchar_t *wstr) { //auto codec = QTextCodec::codecForLocale(); #returns "US_ASCII" auto codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"); // added test passes if (codec->mibEnum() == 106) { // UTF-8 return QByteArray(wstr); } } Best regards, sandro -- > I pushed the new owncloud-client beta release (2.4.0~beta1) to experimental and unfortunately > it fails run tests on kfreebsd i386 & amd64 [1,2]. > The ground of the issue is that the console don't support UTF-8. > I faced the same issue at amd64 I could solve this by set LC_ALL=C.UTF-8. > It looks like this fix don't help on FreeBSD. > Have you any idea how I can set the LC setting on FreeBSD? that's strange, it should work.
