Description Carlos Konstanski 2012-04-14 15:25:18 UTC

On a system that has gnustep-base installed, the file /usr/include/Foundation/Foundation.h exists. The glib configure scripts take the existence of this file to mean that the host is a Mac with Cocoa support. It then writes subsequent gcc command lines with -framework Foundation, which fails on Linux. The first failure is when it tries to compile a program to test for iconv_open(). The real reason this test fails is because the gcc command line is faulty.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gnustep-base
2. Attempt to install glib-2.32.1
