>Release:        Tru64 5.1b
>Organization:
>Environment:
OSF1 coolidge.zOffice V5.1 2650 alpha
>Description:
The build of shells/tcsh (and probably shells/standalone-tcsh and shells/static-tcsh, too) fails because the Tru64 /bin/gencat expects that the message sets occur in ascending order in the source. When the tcsh Makefile cats the individual sources together before running gencat, the charset (set 255) is the first set in the resulting file, causing /bin/gencat to fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to build shells/tcsh on Tru64
>Fix:
change the order the files are concatenated in nls/Makefile:

--- nls/Makefile.orig   2008-04-10 18:43:31.000000000 +0200
+++ nls/Makefile        2008-04-10 18:43:31.000000000 +0200

Over to maintainer.

State-Changed-Why:
did any of the recent updates to tcsh fix this?  (doubtful, since the catgen wrapper still places charset file first)

State-Changed-Why:
assume with no response that a "doubtful" fix wasn't a fix.

State-Changed-When: Sun, 05 Jan 2020 13:53:04 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
I don't have access to Tru64. Do current versions still have this problem?

If this still needs fixing, please look at nls/catgen and propose a fix.
For example, how can we best identify Tru64 (or its specific versions)
so that we can output the files in the order necessary.

I don't think changing the order for all operating systems works: some
want the charset info up front.

Thanks,
+ Kimmo
