Adding locales under linux emulation

Hi,

We are using some linux binaries under linux emulation on
FreeBSD 7.x.
These aplications are using gettext for multi-language, but,
jus t "C"
and "POSIX" are supported on linux emulation:

rootsmdev:~# /compat/linux/usr/bin/locale -a
C
POSIX

I took a look at /compat/linux/usr/share/locale and a lot of
other
locales are available there, how can I add these to the
system?

Thanks in advance

Can't reproduce it here:

The linuxulator searches for files with /compat/linux/
prefix first
and then (if none found) without this prefix. It seems to me
that if
you have corresponding locale files all should work out of
the box.

I'm using linux_base-f7 here, i fixed my problem creating
the locale
with localedef, it's working fine now.
