MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

mingw32 libiconv ================================================================================ This library provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode. This distribution incorporates pre-built binary components, which have been specifically compiled for the "mingw32" subsystem; in other words, they comprise binary executables and object libraries suitable for native use on Microsoft's 32-bit Windows operating system. As such, the libiconv packages should be installed into the /mingw directory (which is usually, but not always, C:\MinGW). The binaries and object libraries provided by the libiconv packages have runtime dependencies detailed below (standard components of the operating system are not listed). Runtime requirements mingw32-libgcc-dll-1 4.6.1-2 libiconv-dll-2 1.14-2 libintl-dll-8 0.18.1.1-2 Build requirements (these, or newer) mingw32-gcc-core-bin 4.6.1-2 mingw32-binutils-bin 2.21.53-1 mingw32-w32api-dev 3.17-2 mingw32-mingwrt-dev 3.20 mingw32-mingwrt-dll 3.20 mingw32-mgwport-bin 0.10.5-1 mingw32-libgmp-dll-10 5.0.1-1 mingw32-libmpfr-dll-1 2.4.1-1 mingw32-gettext-bin 0.18.1.1-2 mingw32-gettext-dev 0.18.1.1-2 mingw32-libgettextpo-dll-0 0.18.1.1-2 mingw32-autoconf-bin 10-1 mingw32-autoconf2.5-bin 2.68-1 mingw32-automake-bin 4-1 mingw32-automake1.11-bin 1.11.1-1 mingw32-libtool-bin 2.4-1 msys-core-bin 1.0.17-1 msys-coreutils-bin 5.97-3 msys-bash-bin 3.1.17-4 msys-patch-bin 2.6.1-1 msys-make-bin 3.82-5 msys-mktemp-bin 1.6-2 msys-cygutils-dos2unix-bin 1.3.4-4 msys-tar-bin 1.23-1 msys-sed-bin 4.2.1-2 msys-gawk-bin 3.1.7-2 msys-gzip-bin 1.3.12-2 msys-bzip2-bin 1.0.6-4 msys-xz-bin 5.0.3-2 msys-wget-bin 1.12-1 msys-texinfo-bin 4.13a-2 msys-file-bin 5.04-1 msys-cvs-bin 1.12.13-1 msys-perl-bin 5.8.8-1 msys-libcrypt-dll-0 1.1_1-3 msys-libgdbm-dll-3 1.8.3-3 msys-zlib-dll 1.2.5-4 Canonical homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ Canonical download: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/ License: LGPL Language: C ================================================================================ Build instructions: unpack libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-src.tar.lzma mgwport libiconv-1.14-2.mgwport all This will create: libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-src.tar.lzma libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma libcharset-1.14-2-mingw32-dll-1.tar.lzma libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-dll-2.tar.lzma libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma libiconv-1.14-2-mingw32-lic.tar.lzma See `mgwport --help' for other options. NOTE: because libiconv and libintl (gettext) are interdependent, the bootstrap procedure is to build and install libiconv using a modified *.mgwport files, which configures using additional arguments --disable-nls --without-libiconv-prefix --without-libintl-prefix Then, build and install gettext. And finally, rebuild libiconv without the extra arguments shown above. ================================================================================ Test suite results This section of this document is updated with each new release. No history is maintained here. Passes all tests except for GB18030; not sure why. ================================================================================ Port Notes: ---------- libiconv-1.14-2 -- 2011 Sep 20 ----------- * Rebuild with gcc-4.6.1 * Include patches derived from cygwin libiconv-1.14-2 ---------- libiconv-1.14-1 -- 2011 Sep 05 ----------- unreleased --------- * Update to latest upstream release. * Adapt build system to use mgwport framework ---------- libiconv-1.13.1-1 -- 2009 Jul 25 ----------- * Second non-testing release of libiconv for mingw32 by the MinGW team. Includes patches derived from cygwin libiconv-1.13-10. * Compiled using the following flags: --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-relocatable --enable-extra-encodings * Relocatable: configuration prefix is /var/tmp/libiconv-reloc-XXXXXX where XXXXXX is a random string. The use of a one-time-random installation prefix -- one unlikely to be present on the destination machine -- is recommended when using the relocation machinery.
