Re: GNUmail on NetBSD

[Stefan Bidi]

I'm not real familiar with libiconv, but I did take a look at it the other day as a possible fallback to string encodings if ICU is not available.  The problem with iconv is that each OS has it's own implementation.  I believe GNUstep depends on the GNU libiconv behavior.  The like below shows a similar problem someone had in 2009 and it might not have yet been fixed.

Hi,

after years, I am trying to tackle the effort of getting GNUMail to work on NetBSD! It never did" I got some precious suggestions from the amiling list, I am writing a better way on how the DNS  resolver gets called.

I fixed that now, but I don't get email and the mailboxes displayed and my console floods up with:


2012-04-05 17:20:30.790 GNUMail[8060] GSFromUnicode() No iconv for encoding NSASCIIStringEncoding tried to use ASCII//TRANSLIT

I use base without ICU, but on other systems GNUMail wors without ICU, so I do wonder. The problem is reported as iconv. CLues?
