Description Göran Uddeborg 2015-08-08 16:30:49 UTC
Description of problem:
Gpsbabel can not open files containing non-ascii letters.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gpsbabel-1.5.2-1.fc22.x86_64


How reproducible:
Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo '<loc></loc>' > göran.loc
2. gpsbabel -i geo -f göran.loc -o gpx -F göran.gpx


Actual results:
An error message:
Cannot open 'göran.loc' for read.  Error was 'No such file or directory'.


Expected results:
A file "göran.gpx", empty of waypoints.


Additional info:
Strace:ing the process reveals that it tries to open "gran.loc", with the "ö" removed.

This has been discussed in the thread here:  https://sourceforge.net/p/gpsbabel/mailman/gpsbabel-misc/thread/CAGusYNtHsjyGu09aXd2HRybAxQbxYnXRG34tdKXTzHoaVexUBQ%40mail.gmail.com/#msg33587737

If I understand the discussion correctly, it would work if gpsbabel were compiled using Qt5 rather than Qt4.  Changing the build requirements from qt-devel to the appropriate qt5-*-devel package(s) might be enough to avoid this problem.
