Title: Problems with UTF-8 filenames
Post by: sidamos on March 10, 2005, 11:31:00 AM

HI!

Suse 9.2 uses UTF-8 for filenames as default.

If I have German Umlauts in a file, then Amule displays them corrupted in the Shared Files list.

I don't know yet what happens, if I download a file with Umlauts.

Running rc8 on Suse 9.2 with KDE.

Thanks!

Thomas

HI!

Just noticed another UTF-8 problem:
If I type in a German Umlaut in the search field, it's being displayed corrupted immediately.

I am using the Suse 9.2 RPM.

yeah thats cause due to the fact that those rpms are made with gtk1...this does not support unicode

so you have the choice to update your wxGTK rpms to 2.5.3 or 2.5.4 and compile it with gtk2 support turned on.

then recompile your amule against those new wxGTK libs, and amule will come with gtk2 support and also unicode enabled.

HI!

wxGTK 2.5.2 is available as RPM from Suse for Suse 9.2. Would this be enough?

Could you (or the packager of the aMule Suse 9.2 RPMs) provide updated aMule RPMs with Unicode support for Suse 9.2?

well about the update, if we do it we provide gtk1 and gtk2 for 2.0 final.

about those wxGTK 2.5.2 rpms from suse,
1st 2.5.2 version was still bit buggy, especially with source connections.
2nd wxGTK rpms fhttp://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Using_another_wxinstallrom suse are most often fucked so I would not recommend them

to solve your problem I would recommend you soemthing really simple.
keep your installations as it is right now and install in
/home/USER/amule/blablab.....
wxGTK and a "new" amule with gtk2 support
check
http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Using_another_wxinstall

dl wxGTK 2.5.4 from http://www.wxwidgets.org and compile with
./configure --prefix=/your_prefix/ --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode

and then compile amule against those new wxGTK
./configure --with-wx-config=/your_prefix/bin/wx-config --more_options

its not that hard ;)

HI!

OK, I have done all that (wxGTK 2.5.4 with unicode and amule cvs) and amule basically works. I can now enter Umlauts into the search field (although if I just enter "ä", it seems to find ALL files).

But it now does not display the files with Umlauts in Shared Files at all. I get this error:
No permisions to open [SNIP]

Of course the permissions are correct:
ls -la [SNIP]

-rw-r--r--  1 thomas users 530499584 2005-02-24 15:57 [SNIP]

Looks like it is not truly Unicode-capable.

ohoh I think I forgot the unicode bug in wx  :]
so its not amule which is making the mistake its wx, but phoenix is working on a workaround patch for the unicode problem from wx atm.
but before 2.5.4 it worked i had also german files in my shares and no problems..

but the display bugs should be gone now atleast right?

about the search i have to try at home myself, dont remember...but i am at work atm

HI!

Yes, typing Umlauts in the GUI (search field) now works OK.

Did you have UTF-8 filenames and it worked?

Should I use a different wx version?

HI!

Current CVS (aMule-CVS-20050321.tar.bz2) does not compile for me (with wxGTK 2.5.4):

amuleDlg.cpp: In member function `void CamuleDlg::ToogleED2KLinksHandler()':
amuleDlg.cpp:277: error: no matching function for call to `wxSizer::IsShown()'

I compiled wxGTK 2.5.4 with:
./configure --prefix=/work/amule/ --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode


And aMule with:
./configure --prefix=/work/amule/ --enable-debug --disable-optimize --with-wx-config=/work/amule/bin/wx-config

HI!

Thanks and sorry, I did not see that other thread.

aMule CVS now compiled and UTF-8 seems to work. :-)

Thanks!

HI!

Sorry, still one problem left: On every start, it rehashes the files with Umlauts in their names.
