#856: windows unicode problem with cabal list ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Windows | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by batterseapower): The default console locale on Windows is CP850 which is most certainly not a Unicode superset. Try running "cabal list" from e.g. Cygwin's Mintty in a Unicode locale and you should get the right output. Perhaps we could change the default CodingFailureMode used to write to std{out,err} to TransliterateCodingFailure, which would replace the invalid characters with "?". I'm just concerned that this might not be the right thing to do for all Haskell programs. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/856#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
