Hi Forum!

As my vdr(1.7.27) Makefile works now, i realized that i have to compile wscan.
Buiseness as usal i created a Makefile. Compiler dies with:

char-coding.o: In function `char_coding':
char-coding.c:(.text+0x6b8): undefined reference to `libiconv_open'
char-coding.c:(.text+0x77c): undefined reference to `libiconv'
char-coding.c:(.text+0x81c): undefined reference to `libiconv_close'

As i found here :

http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/12/0 … compiling/

i need to add "CFLAGS=-liconv".

Ok Sir! Lets do so! i added to openwrt Makefile:

EXTRA_CFLAGS += \
    -liconv

But now configure dies wit :

KRITZELKRATZELKRITZELKRATZELNOONEUNDERSTANDTHISHERE
checking for arm-openwrt-linux-gcc... arm-openwrt-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/derdigge/build/dvb2/build_dir/target-arm_v5te_uClibc-0.9.33.2_eabi/w_scan-20121111':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I am a littlebit confused! What i am doin wrong?

a) -liconv goes to LDFLAGS, not CFLAGS
b) to make the build system find an inconv implementation, add "include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/nls.mk" after include package.mk

Thanks for your reply jow
You are allways verry quick!

TARGET_LDFLAGS += \
    -liconv

liconf is there now, but i have same result ??

Its a problem of w_scan's Makefiles, linked libraries must appear after the objects using them.
You need to patch the shipped Makefile.am and add "w_scan_LDADD= -liconv" before bin_SCRIPTS, then add a "PKG_FIXUP:=autoreconf" to your OpenWrt makefile and remove "TARGET_LDFLAGS += -liconv" from it.

a) You need to copy the modified .am file *before*calling the default actions
b) Don't depend on libiconv-full

still nothing.
i did :

make package/wscan/prepare V=99

*did the changes by hand here 1st try*

make package/wscan/configure V=99

*did the changes by hand here in the 2nd try*

make package/wscan/compile V=99

Both result in:

Do the following:

Remove the cp .files/Makefile.am $(PKG_BUILD_DIR) line from Configure section of your OpenWRT Makefile for the w_scan package.
While inside the root directory of w_scan package, use quilt to create a patched file against the Makefile.am file (quilt new 000-Makefile_am.patch).
Edit the Makefile.am using quilt (quilt edit Makefile.am) and add w_scan_LDADD= -liconv line before the bin_SCRIPTS line as pointed out by jow. Then, after saving the file, execute quilt refresh. you can use quilt diff to see the difference created by the patched file.
Go to your OpenWRT root directory and run make package/w_scan/update QUILT=1 V=s. This will update your w_scan package with the newly created patched file.
Start compiling your w_scan as usual.

For further information on how to work with patches using quilt,, please perusal this working with patches documentation.
