[Buildroot] minicom aborts

[David PICARD]

Hello,
?
When I try to start minicom, some test fails, and minicom quits straight away :

# minicom
minicom: minicom.c: 1041: test_mbswidth: Assertion `mbswidth(e[i].s) == e[i]._mbswidth || mbswidth(e[i].s) == e[i]._mbswidth_kaputt' failed.
Aborted
?
The minicom.c file can be found here :
https://salsa.debian.org/minicom-team/minicom/blob/master/src/minicom.c
?
My only locale is "C".
?
I'm not sure if it's a bug in minicom or if something is missing on my system.
?

Try to run with enabled printf debug output:

1038      if (0)
1039         printf("%d: mbswidth=%zd\n", i, mbswidth(e[i].s));
1040       assert(mbswidth(e[i].s) == e[i]._mbswidth
1041 	     || mbswidth(e[i].s) == e[i]._mbswidth_kaputt);

And take a look which test fails with which value...

And share your .config/defconfig file...

Peter

So I put "if (1)" in line 1038. The test that failed was the 1st. So I 
commented out the lines with Asian characters at the beginning of the 
function, but it still failed. Finally, I put a "return" statement at 
the beginning of the function, and now it works.

I attached my defconfig.

I can confirm minicom (without modifications) needs an UTF8 enabled locale
(e.g. LANG=en_US.utf8) to run without the assert...

The function mbswidth() is implemented in common.c ([1]), using
mbstowcs()....

Peter

Hello,

Well, that looks cleaner than my quick and dirty patch...

But how do I enable a UTF8 locale ? A "grep LOCALE .config" returns this :

BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_PURGE=y
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_WHITELIST="C en_US"

Thanks,
David

Hello,

Did you fix that without modifying the code? I am facing the same problem.

Thanks for your attention.

Andr?.

Should be fixes without code modifying, run with e.g.

	LANG=en_US.utf8 minicom

in case en_US.utf8 is enabled in your buildroot config, e.g.

	BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE="en_US"
