[Tilesathome] Problems in tilesGen.pl on Win32 and Italian locale

[Luca Boschetto]

Hello everybody,

I'm just starting to try to help with T at H – just as a renderer,
because I don't have enough skills to help as a coder (anymore).

I run into this problem when running tilesGen.pl (rev. 10700) under
Win32 on an Italian locale: although I set InkscapeLocale = german in
tilesAtHome.conf -- which indeed makes Inkscape work under my locale
-- I still get errors in orp/orp.pl:
C:\Program Files\tilesAtHome>perl tilesGen.pl xy 2233 1359 12
- Using working directory C:\temp
! 'flock' not available. Do not run concurrent uploads
- Pngcrush version 1.6.4
- pngnq version 0.5
- Inkscape version 0.46
- rendering using or/p

Terminating on signal SIGINT(2)

Everything works fine if I set my system locale to English_United States.

I believe this is caused by tilesGen.pl (sub AddBounds) inserting
these lines in map-features-znn.xml:
<!--bounds_mkr1-->
<!-- Inserted by tilesGen -->
<bounds minlat="51,618017" minlon="16,259766" maxlat="51,672555"
maxlon="16,347656" />
<!--bounds_mkr2-->
It seems, indeed, that line 855 in tilesGen.pl: "no locale; # use dot
as separator even for Germans!" does not work as expected.  I wonder
how all other comma-decimal users do, I even thought it might be a
problem with my config, but I don't see which it could be.  Might this
be a problem with comma-decimal locales only under Windows?

I tried replacing the no locale with the explicit setting a
dotted-decimal locale, and everything works as magic:
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'eng_USA');
Unluckily, it seems that Perl under Windows doesn't accept fallback
locales, therefore I cannot put 'en_US' etc. to make it portable to
other OS's, and this is preventing me from using automatic svn
updates.

I hope this can be of some help to you and others.

Ciao,
-- Luca
