I have briefly looked at glibc's and eglibc's Makefiles. Both have a localedata/install-locales target, but apparently only for native builds since they use the built localedef. A host localedef is required in order to install the locales, hence eglibc's localedef add-on. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be such an add-on for glibc. The options for eglibc are: 1) Use the localedef add-on. 2) Use a pre-installed host version of localedef. The options for glibc are: 1) Use eglibc's localedef add-on if it works, but it's probably better to avoid mixing packages. 2) Use a pre-installed host version of localedef. 3) Do not support installing target locales, which would be a shame. I think 2) would be the best for both since it would avoid eglibc/glibc branches. The host localedef would be detected by CT-NG's configure. Do you think the installation of locales should be mandatory, or a config option? Do you think that the list of locales to install should be a configuration, or that all locales should be installed? Tools like BuildRoot have an option to purge the target locales installed from a toolchain, so too many config options concerning locales is perhaps useless for CT-NG. Tell me what you think.
