This patch allows us to use glibc's build system to build locales in a package separate from glibc. 1. Use 'localedef' from $PATH since we are not rebuilding it. 2. Use '--no-archive' to avoid building the big locale archive, and because the already-built 'localedef' would want to write it to '/run/current-system/locale', which is not possible. 3. Pass $(inst_complocaledir)/$$locale to install files in the right place, and because otherwise, 'localedef' fails with: "cannot write output files to `(null)'". --- glibc-2.27/localedata/Makefile +++ glibc-2.27/localedata/Makefile @@ -199,7 +199,7 @@ INSTALL-SUPPORTED-LOCALES=$(addprefix install-, $(SUPPORTED-LOCALES)) # Sometimes the whole collection of locale files should be installed.
