From 6b48825e4ba6435c2e3bbc85857ade16552be9c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Othacehe Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2018 14:06:40 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] installer: Fix locale installation. For some mysterious reason, calling 'setlocale' as first instruction of installer-builder does not install unicode support correctly. So set LANG env variable and start the installer until this is understood. * gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Wrap installer-builder to have the opportunity to set LANG environment variable before starting the installer. --- gnu/installer.scm | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/gnu/installer.scm b/gnu/installer.scm index 9e773ee8f0..b3eb2a6b08 100644 --- a/gnu/installer.scm +++ b/gnu/installer.scm @@ -261,9 +261,6 @@ selected keymap."
