[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53920] mkoctfile tries to link with /scratch/build/.../libiconv.dll.a

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #53920 (project octave):

That is all correct information. On a typical GNU/Linux system, the iconv
function is included in glibc, so both LIBICONV and LTLIBICONV should be
empty.

It is also correct that Octave builds itself using the Libtool variant
LTLIBICONV, but uses the non-Libtool variant LIBICONV when embedding the
string into mkoctfile.

The only thing that is incorrect about this is that Gnulib's code for checking
for libiconv is embedding the fixed path to the library into LIBICONV. The
logic for all of this is in Gnulib's AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS macro (lib-link.m4).
