Comment 1 Peter Seiderer 2019-02-08 20:46:27 UTC

Apply the following two patches:

- host-localedef: Compile against glibc [1]
- localedef: update to glibc-2.28 and various fixes [2]

Fixed the problem for me, tested with raspberrypi3_defconfig, with the
following changes:

BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_GLIBC=y
# BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_PURGE is not set
BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE="ru_RU"
BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS=y

Regards,
Peter

Thanks a lot,Peter!

I applied your patches, and now building is comlited successful. 
But in don't have "locale" command in builded system.
May be anyone know, hot to set locale in system and how to add LOCALE command ?

Comment 3 Peter Seiderer 2019-02-12 19:28:05 UTC

The 'locale' command is not (yet) installed into the target image, but
you should find it under:

- build/glibc-glibc-2.28-69-g1e5c5303a522764d7e9d2302a60e4a32cdb902f1/build/locale/locale
- host/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/bin/locale

For examples on how to set (from program or from environment) see
hints at patch two...
