            Bug ID: 12986
           Summary: Mtools: Error converting to codepage 850
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2020.05
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: melanie at trash-mail.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The 'BR2_PACKAGE_MTOOLS' program builds fine but on the target system some of
the mtools-commands (i.e. mdir) fails to execute with the following message:

Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument

As described in the mtools-manual [1], codepage 850 is used by default.
I've solved the problem by adding 'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GLIBC_GCONV_LIBS_COPY=y' to my
buildroot-configuration.

>From my point of view, the config option 'BR2_PACKAGE_MTOOLS' should
automatically select 'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GLIBC_GCONV_LIBS_COPY' to make sure that
the required gconv libraries are available on the target system.
