POSIX.2 describes the `localedef' utility which is part of the GNU libc.
You need this program to "compile" the locale description in a form
suitable for fast access by the GNU libc functions. Any compilation is
based on a given character set.
-To use these data files you should add the name of this add-on
-(localedata) to the list of add-on you specify while compiling the GNU
-libc:
-
- configure --enable-add-ons=...,localedata ...
-
-where ... are the options you normally choose. Once you run `make

To compile the locale data files you simply have to decide which locale
