Hi,
I am trying to compile Samba 3.0.13 but when I run configure I get the
following in the output.

configure: WARNING: Sufficient support for iconv function was not found.
Install libiconv from http://freshmeat.net/projects/libiconv/ for better
cha
rset compatibility!
I have compiled from source and installed libiconv-1.9.2 in /usr/local but
it just does not seem to work.
Without iconv Samba will just fill up its log files with character
conversion errors and generally not work.
I have tried libiconv-1.9.1, libiconv-1.8 and Samba 3.0.11.
GNU gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3.4.2
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Graeme

Hi,
I have installed gettext using the configure --with-libiconv-prefix={dir}
I then reinstalled libiconv, following make distclean, but there was no
configure option to point to the gettext lib.
I then recompiled samba but have had the same result and iconv is still not
working.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or missing out, do I need to set
LDFLAGS or any other environment variables?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Graeme

There is a mutual dependency between libiconv and GNU gettext. That is,
gettext is needed to get libiconv to work while gettext neeeds libiconv.
(IIRC this is mentioned in a README or INSTALL file.)
I have tested the following procedure on Solaris 7 and 9 with various
versions of samba 3.0.x, most recently with samba 3.0.12 under Solaris
7. (Sorry, I don't remember what libiconv and gettext versions I used
and can't check now as I'm at home.)
1. Install libiconv from source
2. Install gettext fron source
3. Remove (make distclean) libiconv and reinstall it
Then you will need to reinstall samba with the configure parameter
--with-libiconv=/usr/local (assuming the libraries are in /usr/local/lib)

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I changed the order of my PATH and added an entry for LD_LIBRARY_PATH and this seems to have solved the problem.

This is Sun's iconv, that doesn't work with samba. Was that configure run before or after you installed libiconv in /usr/local? What did your latest samba configure say about this? My samba 3.0.12 with working libiconv support runs under Solaris 7. I am using gcc 3.x.y, GNU make and Sun's linker. I also use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib and in my PATH I have /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin and /usr/ccs/bin. I don't remember what configure options I used for libiconv and gettext. I'm afraid I can't give you much better info about my setup until I'm back at work on Tuesday.
