Hi all,
in which file is the %prep script defined?
www.rpm.org says its a build-in script. Does that mean its defined in some binary? I wonder how %prep handles the setup of locale.
TIA .....Volker

Defined in the spec file.

I would recommend you pull down a few srpms and unpack them then look at their spec files, helped me significantly...

You're right.
Actually I'm trying to figure out where these lines originate from
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.86989 + umask 022 + cd /home/user/rpmbuild/BUILD + LANG=C + export LANG
The setting of LANG messes up my build, which relies on Utf8.

I see
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.86989
- umask 022
- cd /home/user/rpmbuild/BUILD
- LANG=C
- export LANG
The setting of LANG messes up my build, which relies on Utf8.
So export this in the build environments shell, afaik if its previously it will not redefine it.
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rpmbuild <...>
Try that out.

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 is already set on Centos 5.
What does help is to put export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 first line in the %prep, %build... sections
Afaik UTF-8 is default for most linux distributions nowadays (not sure about debian). I wonder why (and where) rpmbuild on centos sets LANG to something different. I can tell that OpenSuse 11.x does not modify LANG in rpmbuild as I'm porting a package from there.

All RPMs are built with LANG=C ... you will need to set it yourself if you want something else.
Several packages need LANG=C to build correct, which is why utf8 is overridden.
It is done in CentOS because it is done in RHEL.
See Ned Slider's post earlier in this thread.
