This was unfortunately lost in the noise and I missed it.  I think
the updated text is much more clear than the original.

Thanks.

[PATCH] configure.ac: link with -liconv for locale_charset()

2014-03-11 Thread Dmitry Marakasov
On e.g. FreeBSD 10.x, the following situation is common:
- there's iconv implementation in libc, which has no locale_charset()
  function
- there's GNU libiconv installed from Ports Collection

Git build process
- detects that iconv is in libc and thus -liconv is not needed for it
- detects locale_charset in -liconv, but for some reason doesn't add it
  to CHARSET_LIB (as it would do with -lcharset if locale_charset() was
  found there instead of -liconv)
- git doesn't build due to unresolved external locale_charset()

Fix this by adding -liconv to CHARSET_LIB if locale_charset() is
detected in this library.

Re: [PATCH] configure.ac: link with -liconv for locale_charset()

2014-03-11 Thread Дилян Палаузов

Hello,

this changes effectively the meaning of CHARSET_LIB to 
always/unconditionally contain the library with the charset_locale () 
function.  The snippet at the end of the email updates the description 
in /Makefile .


However, I checked now how gnulib deals with locale_charset ().  Contary 
to my expectation, where gnulib builds only functions if they are not 
found in libraries on the target system, gnulib module localcharset 
builds unconditionally from source the function locale_charset ().  I 
guess they do this in a portable way, but still.


My preference is to agree on universal approach for finding this 
function, something like:

  OK, if found in libiconv, else
  OK, if found in libcharset, else
  OK, here are the sources, build the function from them, and don't 
look for it in (shared) libaries


I asked at bug-gnulib@ why they build locale_charset() before checking 
for it in libiconv / libcharset.  My posting shall appear at 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2014-03/index.html .  Let's 
see what the answer will be.


I don't know if in the git codebase generally is refused to use gnulib 
code, but if you agree on the above procedure with 3xOK, then 
locale_charset() will be available even on systems, that don't have this 
function in libcharset or libiconv Maybe /compat/poll/poll.[ch] in 
git-core from gnulib had similar history.


Kind regards
  Дилян

Another addendum, comment from Tijl Coosemans t...@freebsd.org who
just fixed this problem in FreeBSD ports (differently):

---
Please let upstream know they should either use iconv from libc +
nl_langinfo from libc, or iconv from libiconv + locale_charset from
libiconv, but not mix the two.  Actually they could just always use
nl_langinfo when it's available because locale_charset is not much
more than an alias for it.
---

The fix used in ports was to just disable check for libcharset.h:
