[Mingw-users] Building GLib with libiconv1.8

[<mar...@bt...>]

I downloaded libiconv version 1.8 from GNU's site and compiled it with NO
problems what so ever.  I checked it was installed, and saw that the
libiconv-2.dll and libcharset-1.dll DLL's had been installed successfully
under /usr/local/lib.  In addition to this the include files (iconv.h and
libcharset.h) are installed ok under /usr/local/include AND the iconv.exe is
installed under /usr/local/bin.

When I go to run ./configure for GLib, it fails with the following error:
.
.
.
checking for iconv_open... no
checking for libiconv_open in -liconv... no
checking for iconv_open in -liconv... no
configure: error: *** No iconv() implementation found in C library or
libiconv

Is it because the DLL name is not what is expected?
Anyone else been in this scenario?
