Most of the problems I have been experiencing with gentoo embedded have
been related to localization (gettext/libintl/libiconv). Here are some
examples:
'make menuconfig' and 'make oldconfig' does not work out of the box
(looks like they are experiencing this on uclibc list too?)
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.embedded/88
Some applications don't link:
for example eject (Adding LDADD=-lintl is a workaround)
Some applications don't compile (at least gcc does not in ~x86:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104237)
Many ebuilds compile but has not proper RDEPEND. They often lack
libiconv or gettext dependency.
For example:
gdb: readline libiconv
eject: gettext
mpd: libiconv
mpc: libiconv
cvs: gettext
etc...
Since this is a returning problem, I wonder if there is something we
could do about it.
Is a standard way to handle localization problems with uclibc?
Should localization in uclibc be mentioned in developer docs?
Should the ebuilds with dependency related problems be reported one by
one or can we make a bulk? (ie try to find all affected ebuilds and
report as single bug)
I've got that libiconv problem too using gentoo-embedded on a MIPS system.
I'm unable to compile PHP due to this bug...
If / when you find something out will you let us know?
I tried installing the separate libiconv from x86 but that isn't really
elegant and to make things worse, doesn't do the trick (for PHP at least)
