Or, instead of using the AC_CHECK_FUNC([ ... iconv ...]) method in your configure.ac or configure.in file, you instead use AM_ICONV defined in /usr/share/iconv.m4. This file is part of the gettext-devel pacakge. This solution assumes that gtmess is using the automake and aclocal tools, and not just autoconf. Otherwise, you could cut-n-paste the contents of /usr/share/iconv.m4 into gtmess's aclocal.m4 file -- and then use AM_ICONV in your configure.ac|configure.in file. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
