[Frage] make fails due to genext2fs (touch: invalid option -- 'h')

[RomMon]

Probably due to my bit older freetz-linux setup (freetz-linux 1.2.1).
(found http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-10/msg00138.html )
And looking for advice/input if like "you should definitely update your setup" or if genext2fs-20131004 is a bit too demanding...
(and to make others aware)


Make of Freetz trunk revision 13268 fails with:

touch: invalid option -- 'h'
Try `touch --help' for more information.

$ touch --help
Usage: touch [OPTION]... FILE...
Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.

A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty.

A FILE argument string of - is handled specially and causes touch to
change the times of the file associated with standard output.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -a                     change only the access time
  -c, --no-create        do not create any files
  -d, --date=STRING      parse STRING and use it instead of current time
  -f                     (ignored)
  -m                     change only the modification time
  -r, --reference=FILE   use this file's times instead of current time
  -t STAMP               use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time
  --time=WORD            change the specified time:
                           WORD is access, atime, or use: equivalent to -a
                           WORD is modify or mtime: equivalent to -m
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Note that the -d and -t options accept different time-date formats.

Decided to go for the latest freetz-linux (1.3.2 at the moment).


To remove the "WARNING: The header file readline/readline.h was not found in /usr/(local/)include."
sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev

Change to the English language:
vi /etc/default/locale
change LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" to LANG="en_US.UTF-8"


Still need to correct the keyboard mapping (/etc/default/keyboard)...

 

[andiling]

loadkeys or setxkbmap should do the trick.

 

[RomMon]

Hi andiling,

Thanks for the pointer.

I had to use:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
sudo update-initramfs -u


Which gave the following changes:

$ diff /etc/default/keyboard /etc/default/keyboard.orig
9,10c9,10
< XKBLAYOUT="us"
< XKBVARIANT="euro"
---
> XKBLAYOUT="de"
> XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"

and
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
(and maybe: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales)
to solve below error.

Sorry, command-not-found has crashed! Please file a bug report at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/command-not-found/+filebug
Please include the following information with the report:

command-not-found version: 0.2.44

Only issue I have left is 'make menuconfig' doesn't show the extended ASCII characters, so the layout is not as nice as it should be.
