we don't have iconv support in glibc ? is that correct ?
if so then qt-4.x is better be compiled with libiconv ?

when i try to compile qt 4.x with iconv support configure fails

ok there is iconv support in glibc and after uninstalling libiconv completely qt4 configure finds posix iconv and enables it so my thread turns into a request iconv support for qt-4.x

Code: [Select]
