Greetings,

I'm trying to build openwrt-22.03 on my desktop and I get this error:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find @LIBICONV@: No such file or directory

    ERROR: tools/dosfstools failed to build.

the distro is gentoo, glibc version is 2.35 based

anyone knows it is fixed anywhere?

Seems you're missing something...

3

AM_ICONV is missing, cannot seem to find where it comes from

4

from what I understand, that macro comes from iconv.m4 which is part of gettext, e.g. gettext need to be installed,
I assume I need to create a makefile under tools/gettext however I'm not sure how to set the order as it needs to get build before dosfstools

Hello, have you solved the problem? I faced the similar problem like this what the error message is that:

I built it from my macos.
