Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-09 16:40:07 UTC
The attached patch applied over current ebuild adds an or-dependency on glibc or libiconv for glib2.

This is needed for non-glibc systems which needs libiconv to build glib2 (libiconv is hardmasked at the moment, but they should be able to unmask it where needed).
The change is a no-op for glibc users.

HTH, Diego

Changing this in a more descriptive bug report for  G/FBSD. CCing herds for 
packages involved.

Grep, too. 
Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-19 17:33:16 UTC
Ok as there's a bit of a problem (gcc automatically links against libiconv if 
it founds it), I'm adding this to profile (also if I'd rather avoided that).
