Description René Rhéaume 2014-01-10 23:37:35 UTC

In the mrxvt README file, it is written "Multichar support under XFT requires GNU iconv". However, uclibc does not provide an inconv implementation, but libiconv is available in uclibc profiles. I simply added -liconv to linker flags and it worked.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Lilblue on your computer
2. Add truetype to USE flags in /etc/portage/make.conf
3. emerge mrxvt
Actual Results:  
emake failed

Expected Results:  
mrxvt installed on system

For some reason, I cannot add virtual/iconv as a dependency, I had to use elibc_uclibc? ( dev-libs/libiconv )
