Re: Some problems compiling gstep-gui-0.6.7

[Yann Le Guen]

Hi,

In GNUstep-HOWTO I read:
`libiconv'
     Unicode support functions (iconv) come with glibc version 2.1 or
     greater. If you don't have this, you can get the separate libiconv
     library from <http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-libiconv.html>.
     However, neither one is required to use GNUstep.

Then while compiling the base pkg when reaching the line:

 -L/usr/GNUstep/System/Libraries/powerpc/linux-gnu  -o shared_o
bj/powerpc/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu-xgps/gdnc \

you got:

../Source/shared_obj/powerpc/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu-xgps/libgnustep-base.so: unde
fined reference to `libiconv_open'
../Source/shared_obj/powerpc/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu-xgps/libgnustep-base.so: unde
fined reference to `libiconv_close'
../Source/shared_obj/powerpc/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu-xgps/libgnustep-base.so: unde
fined reference to `libiconv'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [shared_obj/powerpc/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu-xgps/gdnc] Error 1
make[2]: *** [gdnc.build] Error 2
make[1]: *** [gdnc.all.tool.variables] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gstep/core/base/Tools'
make: *** [internal-all] Error 2                                                
               

Ok I've download the libivonv archive, read carefully the INSTALL instructions,
run ldconfig in case,  but the error still remains.
libiconv is actually located in /usr/lical/lib. Should I move it or build a
symLink somewhere or simply did I miss read the right instruction to succeed ?
