[issue17226] libintl should also check for libiconv

Jeffrey Armstrong added the comment: Alan, I was about to file a bug as well because I'm not even getting a libintl dependency to be acknowledged under these build conditions. What versions of gettext and GCC are you using? Ned, not sure if it matters, but the libintl page does specify that

[issue17226] libintl should also check for libiconv

Jeffrey Armstrong added the comment: I would suggest a more straightforward patch. My understanding is that the standard library on the m68k-atari-mint platform does not include the necessary gettext functionality. This functionality is present in glibc, however. A more direct test might

Ned Deily added the comment: Do you have a use case where this is needed? As far as I know, Python itself doesn't reference libiconv directly. libintl may but we're not building it, merely using it. If libintl does reference it, the linker in use should try to satisfy the dependency for

Alan Hourihane added the comment: Hi Yes, when Python is built as static only, on a system when no dynamic loading is available. You have to explicitly link libiconv when libintl references it. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org

[issue17226] libintl should also check for libiconv

Ned Deily added the comment: That helps a bit but, to be able to even test this, we would still need a specific example of a platform and a configuration where this is the case. It's not necessary or desirable to add on most platforms, I think. --
