yocto: how to install command locale & localedef?

How to install command locale & localedef for my image in the yocto project? I have try the following:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " glibc-locale"

But it does not work. How can I do it?

Solution

  • locale is in a package called glibc-utils and localedef is in a package called localedef. Thus you can add these to your image by doing the following:

    IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " glibc-utils localedef"

    BTW I found these packages using the following command (there are other ways, but this will work if the package providing the file has already been built):

    oe-pkgdata-util find-path "*/bin/locale*"
