Wow, I haven't worried too much about iconv up to this point as it's a rather small library and quick to build. But indeed it's only even installed on Cygwin, HP-UX, and Solaris. And I strongly doubt it's needed for Cygwin anymore (if it ever was). Iconv comes standard in Cygwin installations, and the version is likely quite a bit more recent than 9 years ago when it was first added as a package for Sage. I'll also see about adding an spkg-configure.m4 for iconv. We can keep the package for now for HP-UX and Solaris in case anyone wants to pick up work on those ports again. As for removing it from the list of dependencies for libgd I'm not sure enough to give a confident answer. > On Mon, May 13, 2019 at 2:51 PM Michael Orlitzky <mich...@orlitzky.com> wrote: > > > > Our libgd package depends on iconv: > > > > $ cat build/pkgs/libgd/dependencies > > libpng freetype iconv > > ... > > > > Does anyone remember why?
