[yocto] [imx6qsabresd][morty] Locales not generated

[Fabio Emiliani]

Dear all,

I'm trying to configure locale support in Yocto. My taget machine is: 
imx6qsabresd (i.MX 6Quad Processor), yocto version is: morty.

I've created a base image with the command: bitbake core-image-base, 
then I've booted the image in my sabre board. Everything works fine 
except locales.

Reading in the docs I've found:

> You can set |GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES| in your |local.conf| file. By 
> default, all locales are generated. 
Link: 
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#var-GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES

In my build I've found only a locale, path: /usr/share/locale/en_GB, no 
other locales are generated. Executing the "locale" command I've got:

> root at imx6qsabresd:/usr/share/locale# locale
> LANG=
> LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
> LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
> LC_TIME="POSIX"
> LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
> LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
> LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
> LC_PAPER="POSIX"
> LC_NAME="POSIX"
> LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
> LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
> LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
> LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
> LC_ALL=
Default locale is POSIX, not en_GB.

I've tried several options in my local.conf:

  * ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION = "1" to enable the generation of
    locales at build time
  * IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " glibc-utils localedef" to add to the build
    locale and localdef
  * IMAGE_LINGUAS = "en-gb en-us zh-cn" to specify the add of additional
    packages

None of this options had effects.

Looking in the features list of the next yocto release I've found this bug:

> https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9070
is it possible that curreny release has problems respect to locale 
generation?

_/Why locales are not generated? What do I have to configure to generate 
them?/_

Thanks in advance for your time

Regards,

Fabio Emiliani
