So which one is implemented incorrectly, libiconv or glibc? If Qt assumes glibc, which almost by definition means Linux only, then a bug should be filed with Nokia to turn off iconv support for all non-Linux systems. I configure Qt with --no-iconv for exactly this reason. > I cannot find anyone who has tried to compile Qt without glibc under linux > (or if Gentoo has managed to get Qt working under their version of > FreeBSD). > > I don't know if, or by how much, libiconv and glibc differ, perhaps > converters/iconv would work better than libiconv in replacing glibc? > > Does anyone know why Qt is failing to behave with libiconv? Dunno. I did spend some time looking at the source code, but didn't find anything noteworthy. Do we need iconv support? It seems that Qt is using it as a source of codecs rather than using its own. Are the Qt's supplied codecs sufficient that we don't need iconv? -- David Johnson _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
