           Summary: dlls/shell32/authors.c is generated broken when LC_ALL
                    is UTF8
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20040213
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41947
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: ed at catmur.co.uk


...
authors.c:483: error: (near initialization for `SHELL_Authors[481]')
authors.c:483: error: syntax error before string constant
authors.c:613: error: stray '\305' in program
authors.c:613: error: stray '\366' in program
authors.c:613: error: `ngstr' undeclared here (not in a function)
authors.c:613: error: initializer element is not constant
authors.c:613: error: (near initialization for `SHELL_Authors[612]')
authors.c:613: error: syntax error before "m"
make: *** [authors.o] Error 1

Offending lines in authors.c are as these:

  "Jean-Bruno Luginb",ühl
  "Per ",Ångström

authors.c is autogenerated on build by this command:

(LANG=C; echo 'const char * const SHELL_Authors[] = {' && \
 sed -e '1,2d' -e 's/\(.*\)/  \"\1\",/' ../../AUTHORS && \
 echo '  0 };') >authors.c || (rm -f authors.c && false)

As ../../AUTHORS uses an ISO-8859 encoding, the accented characters fall 
outside the UTF-8 collating locale's set of printing characters and thus are 
not matched by `.' in the sed command.

Prepending "LC_ALL=C" to the above sed command in the Makefile fixes this 
issue.

This may have been a bug for some time; I postponed switching to UTF-8 until 
en_GB.utf8 reached the Gentoo glibc.
