GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 127132
--with-libiconv=gnu needed to build glib on mandrake 8.2
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Build of glib fails on mandrake 8.2 with iconv errors. Adding --with-libiconv=gnu makes things work (It's currently commented out in gnome/glib/Makefile
it's the same on gentoo
Same in HP-UX 11.00
I experienced this too on Gentoo 1.4 after installing the iconv from the bootstrap directory. If I deleted the installation prefix and restarted the garnome with the bootstrap--without iconv--and then desktop, glib would build perfectly. Try installing glib without the iconv package from the bootstrap directory installed.
This particular case has been noted in the GARNOME FAQ, but it's not really a GARNOME related bug -- so it's being marked as such.
