The programs in this directory are strictly cut-and-paste hack jobs to
5
extract the data I needed from glibc's locale database.  I'm ashamed to
6
even let them into the light of day, and I consider them complete garbage.
7
 
8
However, they are currently necessary to build the data needed for the
9
locale support I've implemented, so I'm forced to include them here.
10
 
11
NOTE: While its possible to use this stuff for native != target arch,
12
you'll have to either write a converter to account for endianess and
13
struct padding issues, or run the mmap file generator on your target
14
arch.  But all these programs will be rewritten at some point.
15
 
16
All that being said, LC_CTYPE support has been added and supports the
17
ctype.h and wctype.h function.  Also, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC,
18
and LC_MESSAGES are supported wrt SUSv3.  localeconv() works in both
19
real and stub locale modes.  nl_langinfo() currently only works with
20
real locales enabled.  That will be fixed though.  wc->mb unsupported
21
char replacement and basic translit support is on the way as well.
22
Finally, some basic 8-bit codeset LC_COLLATE support should be in place
23
in the next week or two (similar to what was in the previous locale
24
implementation).
25
 
26
Also, as one can probably guess, I'm working towards having the locale
27
data accessed via a shared mmap.  That will allow non-mmu platforms
28
to use this without the current bloat.
29
 
30
Currently, the output of size for my locale_data.o file is
31
  text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
32
  59072       4       0   59076    e6c4 extra/locale/locale_data.o
33
which is for the C locale (automatic of course) + all codesets in
34
charmaps/ and all 268 locales in LOCALES.  I estimate that the
35
translit support for those 8-bit codesets will add another 7-10k.
36
 
37
One difference of note is that the special case upper/lower mappings
38
in the turkish locale are currently not implemented.  That will be
39
fixed.

1) In the toplevel dir,  'make headers'.
48
 
49
2) Create a codesets.txt file in this dir listing the codesets you want
50
   to support.  The easiest way to do this is to edit the output of
51
        'find ./charmaps -name "*.pairs" > codesets.txt'.
52
   NOTE: UTF-8 support is always included if you build with wide chars enabled.
53
   NOTE: The files in charmaps/ were created from glibc's charmap files
54
         with the awk script at the end of this file.  You can add others
55
         but only single byte codesets are supported.
56
 
57
3) Create a locales.txt file to select the locales you want to support.
58
   You can copy and edit the LOCALES file for example.  Other locales could
59
   added provided you've included the appropriate codesets in step 2.
60
   NOTE: You have to have the approprite locales available for glibc!
61
 
62
4) Run make here.
63
 
64
5) Continue building uClibc from the toplevel dir.

Script used to generate the charmaps/*.pairs files:
70
 
71
cat $1 | awk 'BEGIN { i = 0 } ; { if ($1 == "CHARMAP") i=1 ; else if ($1 == "END") i=0 ; else if (i==1) { sub("/","0",$2) ; sub("","",$1) ; print "{", $2, ",", $1, "}," } }'
