[Buildroot] [buildroot] wavpack/iconv link issue

[Julien DELACOU]

Hi,

I'm trying to enable wavpack within an already compiled buildroot.

After having enabled BR2_PACKAGE_WAVPACK using make menuconfig, I ran 
'make clean all' (since it is recommended after adding some libraries to 
the package selection).

When I do so, I face the following error at link:
/local/frq08628/views/a2_evb_1.1/toolchains/elf-fdpic-v7/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-v7-linux-uclibceabi/4.7.4/../../../../arm-v7-linux-uclibceabi/bin/ld: 
wavpack-wavpack.o: undefined reference to symbol 'libiconv_open'
...
/local/frq08628/views/a2_evb_1.1/buildroot/output/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/lib/libiconv.so.2: 
could not read symbols: Invalid operation

Even after a make distclean/make, problem still persists.

I checked my defconfig, BR2_PACKAGE_LIBICONV is set, libiconv.so is 
correctly generated. Moreover, the ./configure found it (I suppose using 
--with-iconv):
checking iconv.h usability... yes
checking iconv.h presence... yes
checking for iconv.h... yes
checking for iconv... no
checking for iconv in -liconv... yes

The only problem seems to be that the -liconv directive is not added to 
linker command.
Problem seems to be solved by patching as follow:

-wavpack_LDADD = $(AM_LDADD) $(top_builddir)/src/.libs/libwavpack.la 
$(LIBM)
+wavpack_LDADD = $(AM_LDADD) $(top_builddir)/src/.libs/libwavpack.la 
$(LIBM) $(ICONV)
  wvunpack_SOURCES = wvunpack.c utils.c md5.c
  wvunpack_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir)/include
-wvunpack_LDADD = $(AM_LDADD) $(top_builddir)/src/.libs/libwavpack.la 
$(LIBM)
+wvunpack_LDADD = $(AM_LDADD) $(top_builddir)/src/.libs/libwavpack.la 
$(LIBM) $(ICONV)

Nevertheless, I'm wondering if it is a proper way to do (and do not 
patch the Makefile) ?

Thanks,

Normally you can pass LIBS=-liconv to configure, E.G.

WAVPACK_CONF_OPT += LIBS=-liconv

But strangely enough, our autobuilders haven't triggered this
issue. What buildroot version are you using?
