Re: [Libguestfs] [hivex] OS X, Fedora 17: iconv autotool inconsistency

Hello all, I've been testing hivexml in OS X, and came across an inconsistency in building. Some while back, I hit a snag with iconv in OS X, where basically this would happen when a hive of any sophistication (greater than hivex/images/small) was processed: >$ xml/hivexml images/large >test.xml >dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _iconv_open > Referenced from: /[snip]/hivex/lib/.libs/libhivex.0.dylib > Expected in: flat namespace > >dyld: Symbol not found: _iconv_open > Referenced from: /[snip]/hivex/lib/.libs/libhivex.0.dylib > Expected in: flat namespace > >Trace/BPT trap This is pretty easily resolved in OS X by adding $(LTLIBICONV) to libhivex_la_LDFLAGS in lib/Makefile.am. Unfortunately, bringing that same change to Fedora (17) raises this error in `make`: >/bin/ld: cannot find -liconv >collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status LIBICONV and LTLIBICONV are both set to '-liconv' in config.log; but there is no check for how to link in config.log. That is, these lines do not appear (in part or in whole) in Fedora's config.log: >checking for iconv... yes >checking for working iconv... yes >checking how to link with libiconv... -liconv The Fedora negative results came from the latest master, 1.3.6. The OS X tests were on an effectively an older version of the code [1], but I think this is an autotools issue in common to both version. So...any ideas? I thought this linking error was the kind of thing the autotools were supposed to catch.
