#222 Fail to install libticonv-1.1.5

[Etienne Werly]

Hi all,
I'm trying to install tilp2 on a Linux machine (Ubuntu 16.10), but fail to install the library ticonv. The ''./configure'' step works well, but the ''make'' command returns an error and I cannot finish the installation.
I'm posting here the critical step when installation fails:

make[2] : on entre dans le répertoire « ~/tilibs2/libticonv-1.1.5/tests »
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -DLINUX -fvisibility=hidden -o torture_ticonv torture_ticonv.o ../src/libticonv.la -lglib-2.0
libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -DLINUX -fvisibility=hidden -o .libs/torture_ticonv torture_ticonv.o ../src/.libs/libticonv.so -lglib-2.0
torture_ticonv.o: In function main': ~/tilibs2/libticonv-1.1.5/tests/torture_ticonv.c:138: undefined reference toticonv_iconv_open'
~/tilibs2/libticonv-1.1.5/tests/torture_ticonv.c:139: undefined reference to ticonv_iconv' ~/tilibs2/libticonv-1.1.5/tests/torture_ticonv.c:144: undefined reference toticonv_iconv_close'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:561 : la recette pour la cible « torture_ticonv » a échouée

Any idea on why this is happening?
Thanks for this program, which seems absolutely amazing, I was starting to be desperate by the total lack of ressources for Linux machines from TI!

Best.

Hi Etienne. Right now, for the build to succeed, you need to pass --enable-iconv to configure. The torture test doesn't take into account the fact that the experimental libiconv interface might not be available. I think I'm going to enable it by default in Git ( https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs ).

Yep that fixed it, thanks a lot!

I'm now closer to have the installation finished. There is still a problem with ''autoreconf'' for tilp:
configure.ac:53: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_INTLTOOL

If this is a known issue, I'd much like to know the fix but I think it's not TILP-related so I'll see somewhere else on the net :)

EDIT: ok, I just needed to install intltool. TTLP is now installed, thanks for the fix!

Your build environment is missing intltool. FWIW, the build dependencies on multiple distros are listed in the install_tilp.sh script, which builds libti*+gfm+tilp from the Git repositories. A short redirection URL for that script is https://ti-pla.net/tilpinst .
