[tbox-l] Compiling Samba 3.0.14a on AIX 5.3: iconv support?

[Jurjen O. <ju...@st...>]

Hi there,

I'm using C for AIX version 6, latest PTF to compile Samba 3.0.14a on an
AIX 5.3 ML2 machine. During the "configure" phase, a warning is displayed
that the system has insufficient iconv support. None of the following
conversions are provided:

from CP850 to UCS2-LE
from IBM850 to UCS2-LE
from ASCII to UCS2-LE
from 646 to UCS2-LE
from UTF-8 to UCS2-LE
from UTF8 to UCS2-LE

It suggests to install GNU libiconv, but I'm reluctant to do so because I
don't know whether that'll interfere with the system-provided iconv.

On my OpenBSD-system at home (with GNU iconv), most of the above
conversions are provided.

How was this handled with the Samba 2.2.7 package from the Toolbox? Do I
need to worry about the insufficient iconv support (it's a warning, and not
an error, after all)?

Thanks,
