Description

Moved from the Rogue Wave bug tracking database:

***Created By: sebor @ Jan 06, 2004 03:41:30 PM***
The yi_US.CP1255 locale is known to fail to build with the Rogue Wave localedef utility when using a shared version of the Rogue Wave C++ Standard Library 3.1.2 on some Linux distributions (such as RedHat Advanced Server 3.0 or SuSE Enterprise Server 8.1) with the following error:

Error 308: illegal encoding found in character map file

Comments

[Martin Sebor]

Based on nightly test results it looks like this locale still has problems even with gcc 4.1.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Still failing:

$ cat /etc/redhat-release && gcc -dumpversion && make yi_US.CP1255

[Martin Sebor]

Added 4.1.4 and 4.2.0 to Affects Version/s and scheduled for 4.2.1.
Lowered Priority on the assumption that this isn't a terribly important locale.
Set Severity and Original Estimate.
