rsync - Mar 2006 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 2790] Add support for converting filenames into different encodings

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2790

I'm just curious.

Suppose I have rsyncd running on Windows, and want to copy files from there to
a Linux machine.
The problem is that some characters (like German umlauts - ü, ö, ä etc.) are
changed to ? when saved on the Linux side.

Where should I apply this patch?
rsync on a Windows side? rsync on a Linux side? Both?

It seems it has to be applied on both sides :)

Anyway, it seems to be impossible to build rsync on Windows (Cygwin) with this
patch:

gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W  -c log.c -o log.o
log.c: In function `rwrite':
log.c:231: error: `iconv_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
log.c:231: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
log.c:231: error: for each function it appears in.)
log.c:231: error: parse error before "ic"
make: *** [log.o] Error 1

This patch is sure useful only with Linux - Windows or Linux - Mac.

Make sure that you have whatever "dev" package is needed to compile a
program
that uses the iconv library.  Without that, the configure script will not find
the availability of the iconv_open() function call that is needed to enable all
the iconv code.  Then, be sure to re-run configure.
