Bug 212951 – app-crypt/pinentry-0.7.4-r1 can't build on uclibc due to lack of iconv support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Aurélien Francillon 2008-03-10 15:26:29 UTC]

Building pinentry (needed for gnupg) fails because of the lack of iconv support on uclibc.

checking for iconv... no, consider installing GNU libiconv
configure: error:

however trying by hand various options to configure () leads to no results ... 
I know iconv.gettext/etc support is broken on uclibc based hosts, i just fail to find a workaroud ...
However it seems to be "possible" to build as some one (solar?) uploaded a bin pkg in tinderbox for uclibc:
http://tinderbox.x86.dev.gentoo.org/html/uclibc/i386/pinentry-0.7.4-r1.html

so what are the magic invocations needed to build pinentry? a fake iconv lib ? 
any comprehensive doc about this ? 

Thanks in advance 
Aurélien


Reproducible: Always

[Comment 5 Aurélien Francillon 2008-03-12 15:40:20 UTC]

That's great thanks !
is it candidate to get into portage tree ?
I can write an ebuild and open a "new ebuild" bug if that's the missing part ...

thanks
Aurélien

if that can help some one ...

sorry for the noise

[Comment 10 solar (RETIRED) 2008-03-12 22:35:16 UTC]

Attention gentoo.devs. Do *NOT* commit this ebuild to the tree or you will face the wrath of one really upset solar. Thanks in advance.
