Unicode error

[Robert Lunnon]

I get this error under solaris building wine.
 Any clues would be welcome (Things have probably changed a lot since I 
last hacked on Wine)

I have now, but that page is just a little bit wrong.

I have a build script for Wine that at least used to work.

The error is in the nls files, removing Taiwanese and another chinese 
dialect  that escapes me right now resolved the error (I don't speak 
chinese), but I'd like to fix the problem rather than work around it.

What version do you build?

There was a transient error like this, but it lived for 1 or 2 days only.

Ciao, Marcus

Are you really building something that old? Upgrade to 1.1.17 and retry.

Ignore the path, it's 1.17 I'm building, the path says when I started 
maintaining the build script, not the year it is now...

There is a problem with converting to/from codepages in wrc on your
system, but the code that does should not be system-dependent (the
character data is all in libwine).

The Unicode string dumped above looks correct, but the first two bytes
of "Back" are wrong. wrc uses libs/wine/wctomb.c:wine_cp_wcstombs to
do the conversion from UCS-16 -> cp950 and in this case I believe it
will specifically use the wcstombs_dbcs function. Can you change this
function to dump out *src, uni2cp_high[*src >> 8] and res inside the
loop and run wrc again on the file above?

Also, what compiler did you use to compile wrc and libwine?

You have an old libwine somewhere in your library path.
