Hi Mark, Hi David
Your guidance is much appreciated on this issue - thanks!
I have examined the *copystrings* script file on my machine, which
happens to be a Ruby script, and the part where the command *iconv* is
used is shown below:
# Convert the input file to the output encoding (usually UTF-16); the
output location is normally in the Resources directory of the product.
system('iconv --from-code="' + OPTIONS[:InputEnc] + '" --to-
code="' + OPTIONS[:OutputEnc] + '" "' + path + '" > "' +
OPTIONS[:OutputDir] + '/' + pathBaseName + '"')
if $?.termsig then $stderr.puts "#{File.basename($0)}: error:
iconv terminated with signal #{$?.termsig}" ; exit 1 ; end
exit $?.exitstatus unless $?.exitstatus == 0
From what I can see, I would interpret it as shown below:
[-f fromcode] is equivalent to '--from-code=" ' + OPTIONS[:InputEnc]'
[-t tocode] is equivalent to ' " --to-code="' + OPTIONS[:OutputEnc] +
' "
[file ...] is equivalent to "' + path + '" > "' + OPTIONS[:OutputDir]
+ '/' + pathBaseName + '"')
Here is the Man pages synopsis:
iconv [-c] [-s] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [inputfile ...]
iconv -l
There seems to be some inconsistencies here! And, I would conclude
that there is a mis-match in the syntax between them.
I previously forgot to mention that I had updated my XCode tool chain
between the time I was able to build and the time that I wasn't able
to build (i.e. now!). I had a look at the WebKit pages and all it
says is that XCode 2.3 or later is required to build. So I would
assume that my installation of XCode 3.1 should be okay. But it
appears not to be!
Could it be that XCode 3.1 can't build WebKit?
So far I have updated my SVN Client, deleted my local WebKit trunk
(with rm -rf), Installed a brand new copy of the WebKit trunk, but the
problem still persist! I'm not able to build on my machine.
I would appreciate any further ideas that you might have that would
help me to solve this most annoying problem.
Best regards,
Sam
