Public bug reported:
DCMTK 3.6.1 has an option to use libiconv to support character
conversion. It looks like this option is explicitly turned on in the
rules file:
-DDCMTK_WITH_ICONV:BOOL=ON \
However, since the Debian package does not depend on libiconv, it is not
found during package build, which is ignored with only a warning:
-- Could NOT find LIBICONV (missing: LIBICONV_LIBRARY)
-- Warning: ICONV support will be disabled because libiconv was not found.
Correct LIBICONV_LIBDIR and LIBICONV_INCLUDE_DIR and re-enable DCMTK_WITH_ICONV.
This causes the DCMTK tools to be unable to convert to UTF-8:
(from 'man dcmdump')
+U8 --convert-to-utf8
convert all element values that are affected
by Specific Character Set (0008,0005) to UTF-8
# requires support from the libiconv toolkit
$ dcmdump --convert-to-utf8
$dcmtk: dcmdump v3.6.1 2015-09-24 $
dcmdump: Dump DICOM file and data set
error: Unknown option --convert-to-utf8
And in the code, when .convertToUTF8() is called, a 'bad' OFCondition
with text "No character encoding library available" is returned.
I would expect, especially considering WITH_ICONV is explicitly enabled,
that iconv would be a necessary dependency for the package, and the
resulting build is able to use iconv to convert incoming Dicoms to
UTF-8.
