What distro are you using (and the glibc version of that distro)?

Could you try configure with CFLAGS="-DGLIBC_VERSION_22" to see if it works?

[Anonymous]

I use Gentoo:
gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.10.1-r1, 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 i686

Tnx.

[Anonymous]

Please see:

What about my second question? Didn't see any mentions in the gentoo tracker.

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's compiled successfully with CFLAGS="-DGLIBC_VERSION_22"

[Anonymous]

Could you send your open-vm-tools config,log, and also /usr/include/iconv.h (or, if present, /usr/include/iconv/iconv.h) from your machine?

I don't see how our check could fail given the sources for glibc 2.10.1 from the GNU site, maybe a look at those files will help us.

config.log

[Anonymous]

/usr/include/iconv.h

[Anonymous]

config.log and iconv.h are attached.
There is no /usr/include/iconv/iconv.h on my machine.

[Anonymous]

configure:29745: checking for the new format of iconv
configure:29778: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -DUSING_AUTOCONF=1 -DOPEN_VM_TOOLS -I/usr/include -DUSE_ICU conftest.c >&5

This command is missing "-Werror", so that's why the check is doing the wrong thing. Does gentoo apply any patches to configure.ac that would explain that?

[Dmitry Torokhov]

Please file a bug against Gentoo ebuild. Filtering out -Werror out of configure.ac is not the best idea. From http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools-0.0.20100119.226760.ebuild?view=markup :
