Windows native installers TCL lacks .enc files for non-latin 1 encodings

[marisn]

As I was tracking down file name corruption in WinGRASS-6.4.1RC1-1 it turned out to be caused by lack of non-latin 1 or Unicode encoding support in bundled TCL. As my home directory contains non-latin letters, it's impossible to start GRASS as it's TCL parts fail to locate GISRC file in my home directory. As long as Windows doesn't move to full Unicode support, supporting different CP's on Windows is a must.

Same issue is causing bug #996

does this mean that all files in C:\OSGeo4W\lib\tcl8.5\encoding should be included in the wingrass-installer?

As long as we plan to allow folks to run GRASS on non-ASCII/Unicode locales - Yes.

try wingrass65-installer-nightly build >= r45583 for testing

the files from C:\OSGeo4W\lib\tcl8.5\encoding should then be in C:\Program Files\GRASS 6.5.SVN\tcl-tk\lib\tcl8.5\encoding

What's the status?

[marisn]

Works fine with recent 6.5 SVN build. I can see correct non-ascii letters and also check for non-latin file presence in system.

Needs to go to 6.4 packaging ASAP.
