lbdb 0.36_0 build error

[jrh@…]

When I attempt to upgrade from 0.34_0 to 0.36_0, the build fails at the fetchaddr step:

/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -O2 -liconv -L/opt/local/lib fetchaddr.o rfc822.o helpers.o rfc2047.o -o fetchaddr
Undefined symbols:
  "_iconv", referenced from:
      _rfc2047_decode in rfc2047.o
      _rfc2047_decode in rfc2047.o
  "_iconv_close", referenced from:
      _rfc2047_decode in rfc2047.o
  "_iconv_open", referenced from:
      _rfc2047_decode in rfc2047.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [fetchaddr] Error 1

I believe this is because of the order of parameters in the fetchaddr make target:

fetchaddr: $(srcdir)/fetchaddr.o $(srcdir)/rfc822.o $(srcdir)/helpers.o  \
        $(srcdir)/rfc2047.o
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LIBICONV) $(LDFLAGS) $? -o $@

gcc is told to link libiconv before it sees the object files (and before it even sees LDFLAGS to know about /opt/local/lib). That should probably look more like:

        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $? $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBICONV)

so that (1) it encounters symbols from libiconv before choosing what to link from it, and (2) so that it gets the MacPorts libiconv instead of the one in /usr/lib.

I believe that the qpto8bit rule will have the same problems:

qpto8bit: $(srcdir)/qpto8bit.o $(srcdir)/rfc822.o $(srcdir)/helpers.o  \
                $(srcdir)/rfc2047.o
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LIBICONV) $(LDFLAGS) $? -o $@

The problem is not in the order : using $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $? $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBICONV)

still leads to the same error

I hit this error as well. Grabbed 0.34 from the repository and that's working fine.

We appear to have several tickets with iconv vs. libiconv issues like this, see #13055 for example.

[blb@…]

The problem is that CPPFLAGS (which includes -I${prefix}/include) is not being used in the Makefile. Attaching a patch which also adds the -I to CFLAGS and fixes the problem here.

Should be fixed in r42894 (maintainer timeout).
