Hi info-mtools, Just wanted to pass on a report that mtools does not work in Turkish locale. This was originally reported here:
https://bugs.debian.org/972387 In particular: $ LC_CTYPE=tr_TR.UTF-8 mtools Syntax error at line 5 for drive A: column 9 in file /etc/mtools.conf: unrecognized keyword $ echo $? 1 $ LC_CTYPE=C mtools Supported commands: mattrib, mbadblocks, mcat, mcd, mclasserase, mcopy, mdel, mdeltree mdir, mdoctorfat, mdu, mformat, minfo, mlabel, mmd, mmount mpartition, mrd, mread, mmove, mren, mshowfat, mshortname, mtoolstest mtype, mwrite, mzip As I describe in my followup to that bug, I can confirm that this is indeed locale issue, as commenting out the setlocale(3) call at the top of the "main" entry point fixes this issue. The following "patch" against mtools.c also ""works"" for me: +#ifdef HAVE_SETLOCALE + char *old_locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL); + setlocale(LC_ALL, "C"); + read_config(); + setlocale(LC_ALL, old_locale); +#else read_config(); +#endif .. but this is obviously not right, as it would mean that genuine syntax errors printed in read_config() would not be translated into, well, Turkish. Can't seem to get a "C" locale version of toupper(3) to work right this second, and am assuming you folks will have a cleaner solution anyway, hence forwarding this to you.
