Non-ASCII username: Many things break #38990

Closed omartijn closed 2 months ago

omartijn commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug When using vcpkg from a user-account with non-ASCII characters in the name, many things break.

Environment

To Reproduce Try to install any package, either standalone or in manifest mode.

Expected behavior Package should build and install

Failure logs

File download fails, because ${ENV{VCPKG_COMMAND}} is messed up. Downloading the file manually and placing it in the downloads folder gets us to the next errors: The C compiler is unable to compile a simple test program.

Note that running vcpkg in the same VM from a user account only containing ASCII characters works.

Don't use non-ascii symbols in usernames and paths ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

@MonicaLiu0311 Why is this marked as a question? It's clearly a bug.

If only that were an option. Since people are using our software with these usernames on Windows and they are running into issues, I need to be able to debug this.

And once it is fixed in one place, people will just build another package which stumbles over it. It won't stop soon.

Thank you for your feedback, currently we recommend installing vcpkg to a path without non-ASCII characters and may not resolve this issue for a while.
