Features:
libenca will be built as: static, shared
GNU recode library interface: no
UNIX98 iconv interface: yes
External converters: yes (piconv)
Language preferences from locale: yes
Language aliases decryption: /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
Target charset from locale: yes
ENCAOPT environment variable: yes
=================================================================
Configure complete, now type `make' to compile enca.
If it compiles, don't forget to run `make check'.
This isn't right: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Automagic_dependencies
Please allow to disable iconv support at configure time.
Quoting documentation
--without-libiconv-prefix don't search for libiconv in includedir and libdir
So it works as expected, it just removes search in some directories. As you probably have iconv embedded in libc, it makes no difference.
What you probably want is to disable iconv feature?
@nijel, I expected --without-libiconv-prefix disable iconv interface at all.
So it works as expected, it just removes search in some directories. As you probably have iconv embedded in libc, it makes no difference.
--with-librecode flag has a similar description and --without-librecode disables recode interface. So I expected the similar behaviour from --without-libiconv-prefix.
What you probably want is to disable iconv feature?
Yes. IMHO there should be a proper way to disable iconv interface. Whether it would be a separate configure flag or --without-libiconv-prefix isn't important. Currently one has to do
export am_cv_func_iconv=no
but this is very far from perfect or convenient.
