Actually, adding UTF-8 to an arbitrary locale might be dangerous. It should only be a temporary workaround, but should not make its way to a release. For instance, on fedora2, the Japanese locale doesn't have an utf8 counterpart. (By the way, Japanese translations of gnucash exist... so we must hav

Oops, Neil, sorry for that -- my first complaint obviously was wrong. Turns out I didn't read the generate-gnc-script in full so that I didn't realize the commands are part of the here-document. So the "dependence on LANG at compile time" doesn't exist, and that is obviously a good thing. Ne

Dear Neil, that change is totally b0rken. Please revert it. Firstly, your change means that the generated script depends on the LANG setting at compile-time. This is fundamentally wrong. We cannot assume any relation whatsoever between the LANG at compile time and LANG at run time. So even if
