|
|
126 | If you use a locale that isn't available by default, you should use |
|
|
127 | <c>localedef</c> to generate your locale. For instance: |
|
|
128 | </p> |
|
|
129 | |
|
|
130 | <pre caption="Generating a locale using localedef"> |
|
|
131 | # <i>localedef -c -i en_US -f ISO-8859-15 en_US.ISO-8859-15</i> |
|
|
132 | </pre> |
|
|
133 | |
|
|
134 | <p> |
|
|
135 | After having generated the locale, you can export the LANG variable as you see |
|
|
136 | fit. |
|
|
137 | </p> |
|
|
138 | |
|
|
139 | <pre caption="Exporting the LANG variable"> |
|
|
140 | # <i>export LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-15"</i> |
|
|
141 | </pre> |

149 | <p> |
|
|
150 | You will probably only use one or maybe two locales on your system. Up until now |
|
|
151 | after compiling <c>glibc</c> a full set of all available locales has been |
|
|
152 | created. As of now you can activate the <c>userlocales</c> USE flag und specify |
|
|
153 | only the locales you will need in <path>/etc/locales.build</path>. |
|
|
154 | </p> |
|
|
155 | |
|
|
156 | <pre caption="Activate the userlocales USE flag especially for glibc"> |
|
|
157 | echo "sys-libs/glibc userlocales" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
|
|
158 | </pre> |
|
|
159 | |
|
|
160 | <p> |
|
|
161 | Now specify the locales you want to be able to use: |
|
|
162 | </p> |
|
|
163 | |
|
|
164 | <pre caption="nano -w /etc/locales.build"> |
|
|
165 | en_US/ISO-8859-1 |
|
|
166 | en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 |
|
|
167 | de_DE/ISO-8859-1 |
|
|
168 | de_DE@euro/ISO-8859-15 |
|
|
169 | </pre> |
|
|
170 | |
|
|
171 | <p> |
|
|
172 | The next step is to re-compile <c>glibc</c>. Of course you can defer this until |
|
|
173 | the next <c>glibc</c> upgrade is available. |
