Hi to everybody, I am experiencing another compilation problem of Openwrt just after having downloaded sources today and I followed all the steps contained in https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build. The error happens at the beginning during the compilation of pkg-config tool of the toolchain:
gconvert.c:55:2: error: #error GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and it seems that I am not the only one person who experiences this kind of problem which moreover seems to be existing for almost three years (see at http://www.lellansin.com/openwrt -%E7%BC%96%E8%AF%91-error-gnu-libiconv-not-in-use-but-included-iconv -h-is-from-libiconv.html). I am not a linux expert (I only manage some packages), but whatever the problem is (probably Ubuntu os or my particular configuration) it's very frustrating to experience compilation issues which takes most of the time for a person like me who only updates packages (sometimes you have to "dig" for a lot of time on internet). So in order to solve any compilation problem I am proposing that a virtual machine pre-configured for Openwrt compilation will be created, maybe someone can virtualize Openwrt build host in some ways (and change obliviously any unnecessary data). In this way anyone willing to contribute to OpenWRT can use it for development and avoid "disheartening" compilation issues. Does anybody think that this could be is a viable option sometime in the future ? Federico
