I see. However, that should not be the case either (and in fact, as I
showed in my previous email, it doesn't fail for me when I explicitly
set LC_MESSAGES to a different language on my system).
That's because before we try to detect these messages we explicitly set
the locale in Perl; see test_driver.pl:
my $loc = undef;
if ($has_POSIX) {
$loc = POSIX::setlocale(POSIX::LC_MESSAGES);
POSIX::setlocale(POSIX::LC_MESSAGES, 'C');
}
...get messages...
$loc and POSIX::setlocale(POSIX::LC_MESSAGES, $loc);
So, the question is why does your Perl still provide language-specific
messages?
Hm. It might be that we need to run "use locale;" as well. It doesn't
seem necessary for me but maybe...?
FWIW, I don't want to change the shell script and call that done
because not everyone invokes the unit tests via the shell script: they
may invoke it via "perl run_make_tests.pl ..." directly.
