When running ./configure on wv2 I get the following ... ----------------------- checking for iconv... no checking for libiconv_open in -liconv... yes checking for iconv.h... yes checking need for const in iconv... no checking whether the iconv installation is complete enough... no wv2 depends on a modern iconv installation, supporting UNICODELITTLE and UNICODEBIG. The detected iconv version doesn't support these conversions. Please get a new libiconv from http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ You might want to install the library to some alternative directory, in order not to overwrite your current installation. Please use the option --with-libiconv=DIR to specify the location. configure: error: * * * No iconv support - unable to continue * * * ----------------------- I figure "no big deal, I can just remake the latest libiconv ..." Then when I download the latest libiconv-1.8 run ./configure and then 'make' I get the following ----------------------- builddir="`pwd`"; cd libcharset && make all && make install-lib libdir="$builddir/lib" includedir="$builddir/lib" make[1]: Entering directory `/home/nas0426/source/libiconv-1.8/libcharset' cd lib && make all make[2]: Entering directory `/home/nas0426/source/libiconv-1.8/libcharset/lib' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -o libcharset.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -version-info 1:0:0 -no-undefined localcharset.lo rm -fr .libs/libcharset.la .libs/libcharset.* .libs/libcharset.* generating symbol list for `libcharset.la' dlltool --export-all --exclude-symbols DllMain AT 12,_cygwin_dll_entry AT 12,_cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry AT 12,DllMainCRTStartup AT 12,DllEntryPoint AT 12 --output-def .libs/cygcharset-1.dll-def localcharset.lo sed -e "1,/EXPORTS/d" -e "s/ @ [0-9]*//" -e "s/ *;.*$//" < .libs/cygcharset-1.dll-def > .libs/libcharset.exp if test "x`head -1 .libs/libcharset.exp`" = xEXPORTS; then cp .libs/libcharset.exp .libs/cygcharset-1.dll-def; else echo EXPORTS > .libs/cygcharset-1.dll-def; _lt_hint=1; cat .libs/libcharset.exp | while read symbol; do set dummy $symbol; case $# in 2) echo " $2 @ $_lt_hint ; " >> .libs/cygcharset-1.dll-def;; *) echo " $2 @ $_lt_hint $3 ; " >> .libs/cygcharset-1.dll-def;; esac; _lt_hint=`expr 1 + $_lt_hint`; done; fi gcc -Wl,--base-file,.libs/cygcharset-1.dll-base -Wl,-e,__cygwin_dll_entry AT 12 -o .libs/cygcharset-1.dll localcharset.lo /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `_WinMain AT 16' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libcharset.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/nas0426/source/libiconv-1.8/libcharset/lib' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nas0426/source/libiconv-1.8/libcharset' make: *** [all] Error 2 ------------------------- I am not getting far enough along for the recent png problem on cygwin to even be an issue. Maybe there is something special about libiconv and cygwin that I am unaware of. Perhaps there is in general something different about compiling libraries for cygwin as opposed to other platforms that is NOT properly handled by ./configure or autoconf. neal __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
