#10762: On Windows, out-of-codepage characters can cause GHC build to fail ---------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: snoyberg | Owner: snoyberg Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #6037 | Differential Revisions: ---------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment (by snoyberg): Thanks Ben for the merges. I had plans for one more potential change: setting up some environment variable that is respected by GHC on Windows to override the code page for stdout and stderr. Use case: capturing output from GHC in a build tool. My questions are: 1. Any objection to this in principle? 2. Do you want a new ticket opened for that? 3. Any thoughts on the environment variable? I was thinking about just reusing LANG and checking for a value ending in .UTF-8 so that the same code could be used on Windows and non-Windows for setting the environment variable. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10762#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
