Re: [Refdb-users] Problems compiling pre4

[Michael S. <sm...@xm...>]

Markus,

I just updated by sandboxes and am now getting similar "undefined
reference to `_libiconv_close'" build errors on Cygwin, along with an
"undefined reference to `_dbi_conn_get_encoding'" on both Cygwin and
Debian ('make' logs attached).

On Cygwin, looks like the libiconv library and headers are in the normal
lib and include directories -

  /lib/libiconv.a
  /lib/libiconv.dll.a
  /lib/libiconv.la
  /usr/lib/libiconv.a
  /usr/lib/libiconv.dll.a
  /usr/lib/libiconv.la

  /usr/include/iconv.h

I shouldn't need to tell make to go looking for them there, right?
