[FreeBSD 6.2] error on <iconv.h> in locale utilities

• Key: STDCXX-404
• Type: Bug
• Status: Resolved
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Critical
• Assignee: Martin Sebor
• Reporter: Martin Sebor
• Component/s: Utilities
• Fix Version/s: 4.2.0

Environment

gcc 3.4.6/FreeBSD/x86
gcc 4.2/Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Tiger)

Description

The locale utilities locale and localedef fail to build on FreeBSD due to assumptions about the <iconv.h> header which apparently isn't provided on this platform:

Comments

Should look at STDCXX-40 when dealing with this.

The same error occurs when building STDCXX on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Tiger) with GCC 4.2.

4.2 hasn't been released yet, setting Affects Version(s) to "trunk."

[Martin Sebor]

Resolved by http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=579018&view=rev.

Will close once we've seen good results for a few builds on the affected platforms (BSD and MSVC, since the patch touches code for both).
