[blfs-support] locale question

2014-04-26 Thread Richard Melville
I have a utf-8 locale which appears to be performing OK. When I run locale it returns a list of twelve LC_* conditions plus LANG all reading en_GB.UTF-8. However, the final condition LC_ALL is unset. Can anybody tell me if that is correct, or if it needs to be set to en_GB.UTF-8. TIA Richard -

Terminator

2009-11-18 Thread Richard Melville
I was thinking of building terminator, the cross-platform GPL terminal emulator, at some stage when I have some time. I just wondered if anybody has any experience of building it on BLFS. Richard -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/bl
