I wouldn't recommend 1.9.1, which is very old, and buggy wrt Win32. I discovered a particularly nasty bug about a year ago, in 1.11, which has since been fixed in CVS. Although I built my own copy from source, and I didn't package these myself, I believe that the MinGW build of libiconv-1.11-1 includes the patch to fix this: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libiconv-1.11-1-bin.tar.bz2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libiconv-1.11-1-dll.tar.bz2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libiconv-1.11-1-src.tar.bz2 Somewhat incongruously perhaps, the bin package provides the development headers and libraries, and the man pages, together with the iconv.exe tool, but it doesn't include the DLLs, which are in the dll package. (I'm not even sure if the iconv.exe provided can run without the DLLs also being present; I guess I should review this packaging structure with the gentleman who prepared these packages for us). Tor Lillqvist's suggestion for an alternative implementation, (Yukihiro Nakadaira's), would also be worth a look. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
