gcc error-messages crippled (code-page or encoding-problem)

Question

Hello,

I use debian and g++. When compiling i get error-messages like these:

In static member function ΓÇÿstatic void* v4::_mb_blocs::operator new(size_t)ΓÇÖ:

Can i tell gcc to do its output in utf-8 or something ?

Answer 1

Try resetting your console font.

Answer 2

Normally gcc outputs in ASCII or UTF-8, so you should check if your terminal is actually configured for UTF-8 (locale charmap).

Also try:

LC_ALL=C LANG=C gcc

to get ASCII.
