Hi Gianfranco, I'm struggling with this - any thoughts on my investigations below.
On Debian Stretch I've created a chroot for unstable and installed the build dependencies for budgie-desktop + locales + meson In debian/rules I've changed the two export LANG and LANGUAGE vars to en_US.UTF-8 Then manually (in the chroot) I have run the following: debconf-set-selections <<< 'locales locales/default_environment_locale select en_US.UTF-8' dpkg-reconfigure locales update-locale LANGUAGE='en_US.UTF-8' N.B. the debconf-set-selections is to ensure dpkg-reconfigure locales runs without the user having to manually select en_US.UTF-8 to the two questions asked. That's enough to convince the dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc to work correctly within the chroot The question I have is how to tuck the three commands above into the Debian package to run before the main meson callout in debian/rules ? i.e. I'm hoping this is the answer how to get the Debian build system to default to a UTF-8 locale. I added the three commands within override_dh_auto_configure: but I get a "sh:1 Syntax error: redirection unexpected" - so I'm kind of stuck on how to move forward. I was hoping to find an existing Debian package that uses meson building Vala within the archives to see how the maintainer did something similar but my Google-fu has failed to find such a package :( David On 12 May 2017 at 19:09, foss.freedom <foss.free...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Gianfranco for the review.
