No, utf-8 works fine with base iconv. Base iconv does not recognise the special encoding named "wchar_t" which means whatever encoding is used for the C/C++ type wchar_t with libiconv. > Now I want to know what would happen if I rebuild system with > WITHOUT_ICONV=yes > in /etc/src.conf > and use libiconv from ports. > > Would it work, and would I have to rebuild all ports? It would work and it's probably easiest to rebuild all ports. Technically you only need to rebuild these packages: grep -Rl __bsd_iconv /usr/local | xargs -n1 pkg which | sed 's/.* //' | sort -u > It seems including libiconv in base has adverse side effects, the two > can clash when both base and ports libiconv are installed. The two can coexist. It's just that some care must be taken during compilation. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
