[opensuse] Switching from 9.3 to 10.2
Hi: I just switched from 9.3 to 10.2. Everything seemed to go fairly well. However, when recompiling a C++ project I'm working on, I get the following error: error: converting to execution character set: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character I had not seen this error before. A google search did not help. Could somebody point me to a direction where I can find information? Thank you. -- Alfredo J.

You might have used non-ASCII characters in comments or similar. It should report an error line, check it? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes. It has a lot of non ASCII characters since text messages are written in Spanish. And there are over 400 source files in this project. Is the solution to go over each one and change the text using an editor and present coding? I am using LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 coding, whereas under SUSE 9.3 I had LANG=es_ES only. There must be an easier way. Thank you. . -- Alfredo J. Cole-Tuckler -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank you.
It may be a problem when interpreting old 'latin-1' code files with new 'utf-8' style. I built an utility to convert automatically the problematic chars. It worked for me with tones of html pages code. There are also some utilities out there to this task. Contact me in private mail if you are interested in my code (even in spanish :-) ). I GPLed the code, but is not exhaustively tested for a public release. Guillermo

You can either switch to ISO-8859-1 (or maybe ISO-8859-15 for Euro support) or convert all files (and file names!) to UTF-8. To switch to ISO-8859-1, put the line export LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-1 in your ~/.profile . Log out, log in, test. Alternatively, you might want to switch your system default to ISO-8859-1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/language and set RC_LANG to es_ES.ISO-8859-1. Reboot. (You can edit this value via Yast->System->Configuration editor->System->Environment->Language->RC_LANG.) To convert your files to UTF-8, use "convmv" to rename files and "uniconv" to convert to contents of the files. NB! Only use uniconv on pure text files! convmv is found in the package "convmv" and uniconv in the package "yudit". /Lennart SuSE switched the default to UTF-8 in 10.0, I believe. -- !++ !
