The verdict - the eucJP (and several other) charset is supported only if you have installed it in your version of Windows (newer versions have it installed automatically). On systems where they are installed, the mbrtowc function works. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00721.html But this means that if a program is built on a system with the code page, but then run on a system without, that tests trying to use that locale will fail - maybe it is just a matter of teaching the tests to skip instead of crash if it is detected that the code page is lacking. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
