[ruby-core:66205] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10493] Wrong encoding for Etc.getlogin in Windows

Issue #10493 has been updated by Luis Lavena.


Davis,

You can build Ruby easily by using RubyInstaller recipes:

You will also need a clone of Ruby source code and usage of `LOCAL` to indicate the PATH where to find Ruby source code.

See examples in RubyInstaller's readme.

Cheers.

----------------------------------------

~~~ruby
name = Etc.getlogin # I've Windows username "Dāvis"
puts name           # D�vis
puts name.inspect   # "D\xE2vis"
puts name.encoding  # ASCII-8BIT
name.force_encoding('Windows-1257')
puts name           # Dāvis
~~~

As you can see \xE2 isn't "ā" in ASCII, but it is for Windws-1257 encoding.
