[Texmacs-dev] iconv support on cygwin

[Andreas Seidl]

I got these remarks as a feedback from my cygwin package. Is is unclear to 
me, if/how iconv support gets included. Please see the following comment, 
I have attached the config.log file. This was version 1.0.3.2.

One last thing I noticed. Your version depends on cygiconv-2.dll but
when I configure from source iconv support doesn't get included:


checking for iconv.h... yes
checking for iconv... no
checking for iconv in -liconv... no
configure: warning: iconv was not found, HTML import may crash

excerpt from config.log:

configure:2535: checking for iconv in -liconv
configure:2552: gcc -o conftest -O2   conftest.c -liconv 1>&5
/tmp/cc0X42Ma.o(.text+0x35):conftest.c: undefined reference to 
`_iconv_open'
/tmp/cc0X42Ma.o(.text+0x5d):conftest.c: undefined reference to `_iconv'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 2539 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iconv.h>

int main() {

      iconv_t cd = iconv_open ("","");
      iconv (cd, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

; return 0; }

Grepping for iconv_open symbol

02:53 PM [534]> nm /usr/lib/libiconv.dll.a | grep iconv_open
00000000 I __imp__libiconv_open
00000000 T _libiconv_open

shows that configure *SHOULDN'T* find iconv support.
