The problem seems to be that the apr-iconv configure script is expecting libtool 1.3 (looking for ltconfig) but these platforms use libtool and glibtool 1.4.2, which does not have ltconfig. Since this seems to be an obvious problem, I can only assume that I am doing something stupidly wrong trying to build APR. Can somebody verify that these are the correct steps:
No, it's that apr-iconv is broken not that your steps are incorrect. =)
I just committed some fixes to apr-iconv's CVS tree. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. It'll compile and install for me now. Well, iconv binary doesn't compile for some unknown reason - don't have time to sort it out now. I'll leave it up to someone else to figure out.
And, no, apr-iconv isn't really required for apr-util. You just won't have apr_xlate services. That probably affects Subversion and its charset conversion more than it does httpd, FWIW. Subversion does log charset translation if apr_xlate is available... -- justin
