Hi,

The file README.woe32 in iconv 1.14 source says "MS Visual C/C++ with
nmake is no longer supported."

When I made my binary, which is 1.9.2, it was supported. I don't have
the source any longer, unfortunately, it was forgotten last time I
renewed the hardware. But I don't remember having to modify it in any
way, it provided a Makefile.msvc and compiled out of the box.

Perhaps you can grab the Makefile.msvc from an older version and use it
as a starting point.

Ciao,
Igor
