Subject: [Buildroot] [Bug 9336] New: Improve iconv support for external toolchain based builds
Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2016 15:56:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-9336-163@https.bugs.busybox.net/> (raw)
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=9336
Bug ID: 9336
Summary: Improve iconv support for external toolchain based
builds
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: torso.nafi at gmail.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---
Currently, when Linaro is selected as the build toolchain (and, quite possibly,
with other external toolchains as well), only the very basic iconv support is
available on target. Namely, the iconv utility from libc/usr/bin/iconv is not
installed at all, nor are the contents of libc/usr/lib/<triplet>/gconv (which I
presume to contain/implement conversion tables not baked in into libc binary).
If I manually copy the iconv utility onto the buildroot system, and then run
the "iconv -l" command, I get the following list:
10646-1:1993, 10646-1:1993/UCS4, ANSI_X3.4-1968, ANSI_X3.4-1986, ANSI_X3.4,
ASCII, CP367, CSASCII, CSUCS4, IBM367, ISO-10646, ISO-10646/UCS2,
ISO-10646/UCS4, ISO-10646/UTF-8, ISO-10646/UTF8, ISO-IR-6, ISO-IR-193,
ISO646-US, ISO_646.IRV:1991, OSF00010020, OSF00010100, OSF00010101,
OSF00010102, OSF00010104, OSF00010105, OSF00010106, OSF05010001, UCS-2,
UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE, UCS-4, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE, UCS2, UCS4, UNICODEBIG,
UNICODELITTLE, US-ASCII, US, UTF-8, UTF8, WCHAR_T
Clearly this isn't sufficient for a good majority of tasks which involve
character set conversions.
I'd like to see the iconv-related files copied, or possible to be copied via
configuration parameters, in next releases of buildroot. Particularly I'm
missing the capability to convert from CP1251 to UTF-8, but other charsets
might be pretty useful too.
