minicom-2.4 no longer seems to link against libiconv for platforms which need it - whilst the attached ebuild fixes this for IRIX, it's likely that other prefix platforms with a separate iconv will need a similar fix also.
Created attachment 231447 [details, diff] net-dialup/minicom-2.4.ebuild patch for IRIX (Note that flag-o-matic.eclass is still broken for non-GCC compilers - Bug 254120)
Created attachment 231449 [details, diff] minicom-2.3-irix.patch Fix GNU-isms on the minicom source - unchanged since minicom-2.3. Some of the changes in the attached file are to prevent compilers warnings about variables being redefined or hidden by later definitions.
We are sorry to close this bug. We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree.
