What ANSI codepage is that?
And what OEM codepage uses the console Window by default?
`chcp' shows codepage is 937
937?!? Per MSDN there's no 937 codepage, rather a 936 codepage
Sorry, it's 936.
Ok, but that's not Cygwin's problem, just the d tool would need an
update at one point, perhaps. OTOH, what you're doing is a bit
borderline. When you start this stuff from cmd, you will have to enter
the filename in the notation valid for the locale in which the
application works. For d, which only works in the C locale, you would
have to give the pathname using the SO/UTF-8 sequences. Right now I
have no idea if there's a workaround for that, but keep in mind that
we're at the beginning of real native language support. Unfortunately
it's all a bit more complicated than on non-Windows systems, given the
UTF-16-ness of the underlying system.
d is an example, there's more. so I guess it should be resolved in
cygwin maybe better...
Though I maybe able to use UTF-8 sequences to invoke d tool, but I can't
do anything about cwd, for example:
bash-3.2$ pwd
/mnt/c/Profiles/Shecti/æé
bash-3.2$ ls
Gears Shortcut Sample.lnk hello setup.xj worker.js
e-3.4.lnk reply.txt sms.xls
bash-3.2$ d
--------- : 0 Jan 01 1970 æé
The default lcoale is "C", as demanded by POSIX. Everything else is
in responsibility of the application. Please read
But set LANG=C will get a different result,
C:\Profiles\Shecti> set LANG=& bash -c "cat äå"
cat: äå: No such file or directory
C:\Profiles\Shecti> set LANG=C& bash -c "cat äå"
123
So I guess the default locale isn't C.
