Hi Ken,
You're thinking those without it, e.g. Andy, could easily get iconv
with a package install?
Yeah ... I am kind of surprised OpenBSD doesn't ship with iconv
If I'm looking in the right place,
http://openports.se/converters/libiconv suggests it's no longer a
package but a LIB_DEPENDS pulls it in.
Like I said, it's part of POSIX so I think requiring it is perfectly
reasonable.
True, we've gone full POSIX in other ways, e.g. C99.
Maybe he does have it and our autoconf tests are wrong; if that's the
case we should spend our energy on fixing that.
Yep.
I'm doing that. I ./configure'd like normal and then s/1/0/ in
Makefile and config.h for HAVE_ICONV. All went well with `make
all', one test was skipped with `make check', but one test failed in
test/mhshow/test-charset, and I'm not sure why.
I think this just bolsters my arguments :-)
Not really, that was more a request for help from anyone that might
recall that area. That it produces the extra byte might be unconnected
to the HAVE_ICONV setting. Perhaps the commit changed the test to cope
with 10 and 11 simply to match observations. :-)
