Re: Base-Files (was Re: Unset TMP/TEMP in profile?)
Corinna Vinschen wrote in another thread about setting LANG:
... Andy and Thomas, please work
out the best solution together. It should work in sh and csh. Then
post it as reply to http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-12/msg00090.html so
John can put it into the base-files package.
Our worked-out proposal is as follows:
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh:
# if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG
test -z "${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-$LANG}}" && export LANG=C.UTF-8
/etc/profile.d/lang.csh:
# if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG
( test $?LC_ALL = 0 || test -z "$LC_ALL" ) && ( test $?LC_CTYPE = 0 || test -z "$LC_CTYPE" ) && ( test $?LANG = 0 || test -z "$LANG" ) && setenv LANG C.UTF-8
where the details of how lang.sh or lang.csh, resp., are invoked, are up
to you.
Kind regards,
Thomas
