On my current build I added ja_JP.UTF-8 and again only built the minimal locales. The gawk test results are not very informative: various strings for test names such as 'arrayref' appear in different places and there is merely the report that ALL TESTS PASSED. Diffing the two logs,the following removals/additions occurred as a result of adding ja_JP.UTF-8 - -%%%%%%%%%% Inadequate locale support: skipping charset tests. -%%%%%%%%%% At least en_US.UTF-8, fr_FR.UTF-8, ru_RU.UTF-8 and ja_JP.UTF-8 are needed. +make[2]: Entering directory '/building/gawk-4.2.1/test' +======== Starting tests that can vary based on character set or locale support ======== +************************************************************************** +* Some or all of these tests may fail if you have inadequate or missing * +* locale support.
